News flash: When corporate boards talk with major investor groups, investor relations improves.

That nugget comes to us from Risk Metrics, which recently published a study of six boards engaged in the practice of actually speaking with other human beings. I know thatโ€™s a rare habit among boards (especially those in the financial sector), but itโ€™s refreshing to see that at least some have used training available from the Institute for Common Sense and apparently put it to good use.
