What your board needs to know before it signs off on AI
A half day for people who will be asked hard questions about AI decisions they did not make themselves — leadership, board members and supervisory bodies who need judgment, not jargon.
Sound familiar?
- Boards approve AI budgets and strategies without a shared understanding of what the technology can and cannot do.
- Liability and governance questions get raised only after something has already gone wrong.
- Regulatory obligations, including under the EU AI Act, land on leadership's desk with no plain-language briefing behind them.
- Vendor pitches are the only source of AI education most executives ever receive.
What we do
AI capability and limits, without the hype
A realistic picture of what current AI systems do well, where they fail, and how to tell vendor claims from reality.
Governance and accountability
What oversight structures, sign-off processes and reporting lines a board should expect for AI initiatives.
Regulatory exposure in plain terms
The EU AI Act and adjacent obligations translated into board-relevant risk and responsibility, not legal text.
The questions to ask internally
A concrete set of questions leadership can put to their own teams and vendors to test whether AI initiatives are actually under control.

Questions we get
Is this technical?
No, it is deliberately built for a non-technical audience with governance and strategic responsibility, not for people who will implement the systems.
Can this satisfy part of our EU AI Act obligations?
It supports the AI literacy obligation under Article 4 for leadership specifically, and complements the broader staff training we run separately.
Can this be combined with a strategy discussion?
Yes, many boards extend the session with a closed discussion of their specific AI initiatives once the briefing itself is done.
