AI and ERM: Three Questions Every Board Should Ask - Directors & Boards

Your board doesn't need a 40-page AI governance report. You need to stop buying tools nobody uses. That "$200/month AI tool gathering dust" story? I've heard it hundreds of times. You're not tech-stu

Your board doesn't need a 40-page AI governance report. You need to stop buying tools nobody uses.

That "$200/month AI tool gathering dust" story? I've heard it hundreds of times. You're not tech-stupid — you were sold a solution before anyone defined the actual problem. That's not on you.

Here's what corporate boards are quietly learning right now: before any AI investment, you need to answer three simple questions. What decisions does AI actually touch? Who's accountable when it's wrong? And how will we measure if it's working?

Most small business owners skip straight to purchasing. Big mistake. The companies getting real ROI from AI start with a ten-minute audit of their most repetitive, time-consuming workflows — before they ever open a vendor website.

That's your starting point. Not a $25K implementation. Not a consultant retainer. Just a list of your three most painful, time-draining tasks written on a single page.

That one page becomes your AI roadmap. It tells you exactly which tool to evaluate — and which to ignore completely.

What's the one business task you wish you could hand off tomorrow if you trusted AI to handle it?
