Impact Live - From oversight to foresight: Board governance in a polycrisis world

May 28, 2026, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT

The mandate of the corporate board is being rewritten in real time.

Geopolitical disruption, AI adoption, shareholder activism, regulatory shifts — these aren't isolated challenges. They're converging. And they're demanding something boards need to do now: govern with foresight, not just oversight.

At Impact Live From Oversight to Foresight, Sharon Castelino, EMBA ’12, convenes a panel of experienced directors and governance leaders to explore this challenge.

The conversation will explore:

From oversight to foresight — how the board's role is shifting from compliance and risk management to strategic anticipation in an era of permanent disruption

Governing AI — the most urgent competency gap in the boardroom, from AI governance to the labour impact and what directors should be doing right now

Board composition and effectiveness — the skills, diversity, and refreshment practices that distinguish boards built for a polycrisis world

Navigating stakeholder pressures — from activist campaigns and the ESG backlash to executive compensation and crisis governance

Whether you currently serve on a board, aspire to, or want to understand how governance is evolving, this session will offer practical, timely insights from leaders navigating these challenges firsthand.

This event is presented in collaboration with Ivey Executive Education.
