W42 - 18 Oct 2026 - When AI Agents Make Decisions: The Executive Liability Problem

W38 - 20 Sep 2026 - When Agents Go Off-Script: Governance Before Scale
McKinsey's data shows 80% of organisations see individual productivity gains from AI but only 37% see measurable EBIT impact — the gap is the coordination tax.

-
W37 - 13 Sep 2026 - AI Risk Management: The Gap Your Board Needs to Know
We examine whether AI systems in your enterprise can actually govern their own risks, and expose the economics crisis frontier AI has created for corporate cybersecurity. This week's briefing addresses the two questions your peers are raising in closed-door strategy meetings.
-
W36 - 6 Sep 2026 - The Governance Crisis Behind Agentic AI Adoption

-
W32 - 9 Aug 2026 - When AI Moves From Answering to Acting
Enterprise AI systems are crossing a critical threshold—from generating insights to executing decisions autonomously. This shift transforms AI from a departmental tool into an organizational risk that demands board-level governance of workflows, permissions, and vendor dependencies.
-
W31 - 2 Aug 2026 - When AI Testing Breaks Containment: Governing at Scale
This week we examine the operational and governance implications when capability testing designed for controlled environments enters production systems. You'll hear how leading organisations are recalibrating their AI risk frameworks to prevent similar breaches and what this means for your...
-
W30 - 26 Jul 2026 - When AI Stops Advising and Starts Acting

-
W27 - 4 Jul 2026 - The Governance Gap: Who Actually Controls Your AI Models

-
W24 - 14 Jun 2026 - When Agents Go Live: Data, Autonomy, and the New AI Risk
