Boards That Read the Wind: Strategic Governance

Boards That Read the Wind

Strategic Governance Briefing for Boards Leading Through AI Disruption

---

Program Overview

Boards That Read the Wind is a high-intensity, foresight-driven governance session designed specifically for Board Chairs, Directors, and INEDs navigating the exponential complexity of the AI era. In a time when AI is reshaping markets, stakeholder expectations, and systemic risk, this 4-hour executive briefing equips Boards with the thinking tools, leadership bearings, and governance logic to lead—not just respond.

This half-day program reframes Board accountability in the face of AI, moving beyond compliance into adaptive foresight, signal-sensing, and non-linear decision-making. It integrates scenario foresight, paradox navigation, and real-time complexity framing—while maintaining strategic alignment with fiduciary, ethical, and regulatory responsibilities.

• AI has redefined not only business models—but governance responsibility

To enable this shift, participants will engage in:

• Scenario foresight and governance simulations
