AI reaches a board agenda wearing two disguises: pure liability, or a revolution you're late to. Both get you a deferral. This free pack is the ten-minute version that gets a decision: a one-pager for the board papers, a motion ready to move, and answers to the five questions boards actually ask.

Try it right here

Every board lands on some version of these five questions. Tap each one — these are the short answers that hold up, straight from the pack.

The policy draws a traffic-light line. Green is public information, fine to use. Amber makes you pause and de-identify. Red never goes in: client and beneficiary personal information, case notes, donor financial details, credentials. When someone is unsure, the rule is to treat it as the higher tier. This one rule does more risk management than everything else combined.

What the board is being asked to do is smaller than it feels: to replace unmanaged use with managed use. That is ordinary governance, applied to something new.
Inside the file
  • Why deferring is the riskiest option on the table (with the sector numbers to cite)
  • A copy-and-adapt one-page briefing for the board papers
  • The motion, worded so your chair can move it as written
  • Handling the all-risk director and the too-slow director, respectfully
  • The after-the-meeting checklist, including telling staff the same week

Take it with you.

Share it freely inside your organisation. That is what it is for.
