Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Culture by design: Building resilient organizations in the age of AI
Q: What was the last thing you read, watched, or listened to that changed how you think about governance?
The ongoing work on Culture Design and the evolving interplay between culture and AI; the key takeaway is that humans must be central to governance discussions as AI accelerates, with culture shaping how governance adapts to new technologies.
Culture by design: Building resilient organizations in the age of AI
Q: What do you think will be the biggest difference between boardrooms today and 10 years from now?
Leadership and thoughtfulness around culture will be more important, boards will move faster with more change, and AI will be a force multiplier in boardroom dynamics, shaping onboarding and offboarding as well as risk and opportunity discussions.
From reactive to predictive: Board governance in the AI age
Q: What should a board ask management about how AI is used in board workflows and record retention?
Ask about key risks, ensure the board has sufficient AI literacy, request information on governance of AI, the lifecycle of AI tools, retention policies, and how management escalates issues, with emphasis on materiality and defensible oversight.
Bringing a technologist mindset into the boardroom
Q: What recommendations do you have for non-technology expert board members to stay informed?
Non-technology experts should read industry summaries, attend shows, and engage in board education to enhance their understanding of current technology trends.
Bringing a technologist mindset into the boardroom
Q: How should boards integrate technology directors effectively?
Boards should ensure that technologists understand their full range of responsibilities and actively participate in committees to earn respect beyond being just the tech person.
