Get your board from anxious to signed-off

Inside it

• 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
• The five questions every board asks — data, accountability, cost, exposure, proof — answered
• Handling the all-risk director and the too-slow director, respectfully
• The after-the-meeting checklist, including telling staff the same week

What the board is being asked to do is smaller than it feels: not to bet the organisation on a technology, but to replace unmanaged use with managed use. That is ordinary governance, applied to something new.

For EDs, CEOs and managers who need a governance green light, not another discussion paper.
