This masterclass explores the current "noise" around AI and how to sift through emotion and opinion and arrive at a foundational approach to AI for the whole board. It explores how to work with board members around the framing of AI, have AI on the agenda and develop a robust approach to AI reporting across the business.

As territories around the world are introducing AI legislation, e.g. the EU AI Act, this masterclass covers the essential responsibilities that the secretariat and Board have around compliance of AI. We examine the AI legislative horizon and what needs to be in place for operational AI governance and for boardroom oversight. Furthermore, it will address how AI requires the co-ordination of Legal, Risk, and Ethics. If not properly managed, these matters will slow down AI deployments. Learn how to ensure there is co-ordinated effort to manage AI across these critical functions, to ensure AI deployments are a success.

What are the pitfalls of deploying AI when it comes to privacy, security, IP and discoverability? This masterclass allows company secretaries and Board members to do a deep dive into AI, when looking at ways to use AI to innovate within the secretariat.

This course provides an overview of AI and Generative AI for governance professionals. How does AI within the enterprise compare to the consumer AI applications that are available on personal devices? This will build confidence in your understanding of AI and ability to discuss with colleagues.

In today’s business landscape, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is no longer a “nice-to-have” - it’s a strategic imperative. Whether you’re advising the Board, shaping company policy, or simply navigating the growing expectations of stakeholders, understanding ESG is critical to your professional toolkit.

The course empowers governance professionals to understand, assess, and integrate geopolitical risk into board-level decision-making.
