Director Masterclass

The full seven-module program, delivered to a single board in a half day — culminating in a facilitated boardroom incident tabletop. Directors don't just learn what to demand; they rehearse it, and leave with a working oversight operating model they can put in place at the next meeting.

Why a masterclass

Awareness isn't oversight — a board needs an operating model

Knowing AI is a risk is not the same as governing it. A board that oversees AI well does specific things on a cadence: it demands the right artefacts, asks precise questions, houses the topic in the right committee, and receives the right dashboard. The masterclass builds that whole model — and pressure-tests it with a live incident so the gaps surface in a safe room, not a real crisis.

It is pitched at oversight altitude throughout: directors govern the system, they don't implement it.

Objective
Leave with a working AI oversight operating model — and having rehearsed it under fire.
The programme

Seven modules, one arc

1
Why AI is a board agenda item

The governance gap, director exposure, the three failure modes.

2
What ISO/IEC 42001 is

Clauses 4–10 as a PDCA loop; Annex A; the Statement of Applicability.

3
The regulatory convergence

EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, APRA CPS 230/234, and the liability trajectory.

4
The four artefacts

Policy, risk appetite, impact assessment, Statement of Applicability.

5
The oversight toolkit

The question bank, the dashboard, committee design, reporting cadence.

6
The road to assurance

Assurance layers and the certification journey — what it proves, and doesn’t.

7
Boardroom tabletop — an AI incident

A facilitated simulation: a deployed AI system causes a harm and a regulatory event. Directors rehearse the decisions, disclosure and after-action response — debriefed against clauses 9 and 10.
