Your management team has AI pilots running, a policy in draft, and a productivity slide ready for the next board meeting. But none of that tells you whether they are genuinely leading your organisation through AI, or just buying tools. This webinar gives directors the questions that separate real AI leadership from AI theatre.BCG's latest research found only 5% of companies are achieving AI value at scale, while the Reserve Bank of Australia found most firm-level adoption is "piecemeal" and "employee-led rather than employer-led. " The gap between AI activity and AI leadership is where boards need to focus next.This webinar equips directors with a practical question set to evaluate whether management owns the AI transformation, how to read the reporting you are (and aren't) getting, and what accountability looks like when AI moves from project to strategy.

From transcription to decision-capture, what really mattersAre your minutes a ‘get out of jail free’ card?Or are they more like a ‘go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200’ card?Does your minute taker know the difference?Board minutes are more than an administrative record. Done well, they can provide powerful evidence that directors asked the right questions, understood the issues, exercised judgement and acted appropriately.Done poorly, they can leave a board exposed—or create a misleading record of what actually happened. In this practical webinar, we’ll explore how much detail is enough, what should stay out, the opportunities and risks of AI and transcripts, and how to produce minutes that are accurate, useful and defensible — without spending hours getting there.

How technology is modernising an ancient art.For centuries, the role of the director has rested on judgement, stewardship and oversight. In the digital and now AI age, the pace, breadth and variety of technology matters are making new demands of directors, and digital literacy is fast becoming as fundamental to directorship as financial literacy.In this webinar, you'll learn why digital skills are now a baseline expectation for every director and how the regulatory burden around cyber, data and AI governance is raising the bar on what boards are expected to know and do. We'll explore how digital experts change the dynamic in the boardroom, bringing a different way of thinking that challenges traditional assumptions, and why the pace of change in areas like AI is outrunning the controls many boards still rely on.You'll also get a front-row look at how technology is arriving in the boardroom itself, from AI-assisted minutes and meeting organisation to the emerging (and controversial) idea of the AI board member. We'll unpack the challenges of finding and recruiting digital expertise into governance roles and why a board without deep digital expertise is sitting on a widening blind spot that affects not just strategy but also extends to the stakeholders who feel the consequences of decisions made without it.Whether you're a sitting director, an executive reporting to a board, or a digital leader eyeing a governance career, this webinar will leave you with a clearer view of what's changing, what's at stake, and what directorship looks like in the digital age

When the ground keeps shifting, how do good boards keep making good calls?Economic volatility. Regulatory change. Technology disruption. AI reshaping entire industries overnight.
