The AI Boardroom Edge

A six-day executive course for directors and fund partners. Govern AI, protect your company's edge, and turn it into value across your boards and portfolio. One short lesson a day, by email.

What you will learn

Six lessons, one a day. Each ends with a question to take into your next meeting.

1
AI is now a board responsibility
Drive the opportunity and govern the risk. The questions that separate a board that leads AI from one that rubber-stamps it, plus the portfolio version of both for investor directors.
2
How to not give away your edge
Your edge is your data, your people, and your workflows. How AI can compound it inside your business, or quietly move it to a vendor, and what that looks like at the next valuation.
3
Build an AI-fluent board
Measure AI as organizational leverage, not licences issued, and use AI to widen the perspectives in the room. One board gives you a reading, a portfolio gives you a distribution.
4
From adoption to impact
Nearly everyone uses AI; few see outcomes. What the best boards do to close the gap, and how a redesign that works in one company becomes a template for the rest.
5
The post-investment playbook
Where value is actually created after the cheque clears, how a lens that runs across every board reveals the pattern one boardroom cannot, and what a buyer's diligence will ask at exit.
6
The boardroom in 2030
Decisions in days, not months, why judgement rather than reading speed becomes the director's real edge, and why seeing across a whole portfolio becomes a firm-level advantage.
