Learning Outcomes
- Shared vocabulary for talking about technology risk in the boardroom —so you’re not just nodding along when management talks AI, quantum, or cybersecurity.
- Working map of the governance frameworks top boards are already using — including the “5 C’s,” oversight/insight/foresight, and the risk models that separate reactive boards from prepared ones.
- Sharper eye for what’s missing from management’s reporting — the blind spots, the backward-looking metrics, and the forward-looking questions that actually move the conversation.
- Understanding of where AI, quantum, and space risk are headed — grounded in real panel discussion with directors and risk leaders who are already living this, not theoretical frameworks.
- Increased confidence to ask better questions at your next board meeting — because knowing what to ask is often more valuable than knowing the technical answer.
