Board ViewsThe Thinking Board in the Age of AI
Boards today confront a paradox. On the one hand, they operate in an environment of radical complexity. On the other hand, directors remain human—bounded in their rationality, limited in their ability to process information, and prone to biases that shape judgment in systematic ways. Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to change this equation. By extending the reach of human cognition, they enable boards to move from a world of structural information asymmetry toward one of intelligence symmetry. Yet technology alone cannot guarantee better governance. What is needed, therefore, is the thinking board that debates assumptions, grounds itself in data, deliberates inclusively, and sustains dialogue with its stakeholders.
Board ViewsThe Promise and Perils of Agile Governance
Agility as a leadership principle has gained enormous importance in recent years. Many companies proclaim agility as a new leadership culture that is better aligned to future opportunities and challenges. At the same time, companies must adhere to corporate governance principles, some of which conflict with agility principles. This article presents considerations for improving the compatibility of agile leadership principles with the principles of effective corporate governance.
