Webinar: Is management actually leading - The Board's...

BoardPro Podcasts ·

2026/10/05

Your management team has AI pilots running, a policy in draft, and a productivity slide ready for the next board meeting. But none of that tells you whether they are genuinely leading your organisation through AI, or just buying tools. This webinar gives directors the questions that separate real AI leadership from AI theatre. BCG's latest research found only 5% of companies are achieving AI value at scale, while the Reserve Bank of Australia found most firm-level adoption is "piecemeal" and...

Webinar: Writing better board minutes

BoardPro Podcasts ·

2026/09/24

From transcription to decision-capture, what really matters Are your minutes a ‘get out of jail free’ card? Or are they more like a ‘go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200’ card? Does your minute taker know the difference? Board minutes are more than an administrative record. Done well, they can provide powerful evidence that directors asked the right questions, understood the issues, exercised judgement and acted appropriately. Done poorly, they can leave a bo...

Webinar: How to Harness conflict in the boardroom

BoardPro Podcasts ·

2026/07/24

We will examine; • &...

2026/07/13

Rapid change, evolving member expectations, and constant data streams are challenging traditional board decision-making. Boards today are expected to respond more quickly than ever while navigating economic uncertainty, technological disruption, changing regulation, workforce pressures, and increasing stakeholder scrutiny. At the same time, directors are faced with more information than ever before, making it harder to separate what is important from what is simply urgent. High-performing b...

Lucy Byrne has had the opportunity to sit on a wide range of boards, big and small, governance and regulatory, some amazing and some… not so amazing. She’s seen board packs that run to 2,000 pages and others where decisions are made on a whim. Governance itself is mostly common sense, right? don’t go broke, manage the CEO, handle conflicts etc etc... Where it gets tricky is when you add humans!

Most boards now recognise that psychosocial risks matter. The challenge is knowing what to look for – and what to do – when the signals aren't clear. Unlike physical hazards, these risks don't sit neatly in one place. They show up in patterns, behaviours, and relationships, and often only become visible once harm has already occurred. In this follow up session to More Than Safety Posters, we'll revisit why psychosocial risk is inherently complex and what that means for governance in practice...

Should not-for-profit boards pay their directors? It’s a question we are hearing more than ever. With rising living costs, is volunteering becoming a privilege only some can afford?
