AI Strategy for Boards and Executives

AI creates both risk and opportunity. Without guardrails, experiments fail. With structure, boards get ROI and responsible governance.

Boards need a disciplined approach for AI, balancing opportunity and oversight.

“AI isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about enabling better decisions, faster execution and actual, tangible results.”

Ari Magalhaes

Why AI Strategy Matters

  • Boards must own AI: regulators expect oversight across ethics, data and automation risk.

  • Too many pilots fail: misaligned projects scatter resources and stall adoption.

  • Mission alignment is essential : AI should deepen your purpose, not distract from it.

  • ROI counts : AI strategy must deliver tangible financial and operational results to the organisation.
