Is your board prepared for the AI revolution?

AI is no longer optional for boards—those who fail to engage will be left behind. Are you prepared to govern AI, or will your organisation fall behind competitors already leveraging its power?

Most directors understand AI’s potential but struggle with oversight, governance, and practical application. Our on-demand AI Masterclass is designed for board members and senior executives, breaking down complex AI concepts into practical, governance-focused insights and taught by an AI expert, board chair, and professional director who actively uses AI in governance and business leadership. Learn how to mitigate risks like Shadow AI and hallucinations, master AI-powered tools for board decision-making and governance, and explore emerging trends like autonomous AI agents and robotics. Learn at your own pace and equip yourself with the knowledge to drive AI strategy in the boardroom.

This isn’t theory—this is practical, boardroom-ready AI knowledge from someone who’s using it daily at board level. Access the AI Masterclass anytime, anywhere, and gain the skills to navigate risks, seize opportunities, and future-proof your organisation. Get instant access today!
