At a time when artificial intelligence (AI) plays a central role in the transformation of businesses, it is more important than ever for boards to be equipped to understand and apply AI. The technology opens up new opportunities for innovation, growth, and sustainable value creation, but it also requires a strategic approach to governance and leadership.

Scandinavian Executive Institute and Boards Impact Forum have teamed up to ensure that board members and non-executive directors have the necessary tools and skills to navigate an AI-driven future. Our work with AI goes far beyond theory – it is an integrated part of our programs aimed at developing leaders and boards who can lead with insight, responsibility, and progress in a digital world.

AI’s Influence on Board Work

AI is no longer just a technology for development departments and geeks. It has become an essential part of the board’s strategic decision-making process. From optimizing risk management to analyzing large amounts of data and identifying growth opportunities, AI is changing the way boards make decisions. The technology enables board members to base decisions on data rather than intuition and helps to predict trends that can ensure competitive advantages.

Board members who understand AI’s potential are better able to ensure sustainable value creation for their companies and organizations. Integrating AI into the governance structure is no longer optional – it is a necessity to ensure the board is future-proof.

AI in Scandinavian Executive Institute’s Programs

Hos Scandinavian Executive Institute har vi længe været i front med at inkludere AI som en grundlæggende komponent i vores leder- og bestyrelsesuddannelser. Sidste forår afholdt vi en heldags masterclass om AI med professor Ville Satopaa, der delte sine dybdegående indsigter i, hvordan AI påvirker forretningsstrategi, innovation og governance. Deltagerne fik hands-on erfaring og konkrete værktøjer til at forstå og anvende AI i deres bestyrelsesarbejde.

AI is an integral part of all our programs, especially our board education programs, where we focus on developing skills that enable board members to lead through digital and technological changes. Learn more about our board education programs here

Boards Impact Forum and SEI: Together We Create AI-Skilled Boards

In collaboration with Boards Impact Forum, we have developed an exclusive webinar to give board members and management a practical understanding of how they can lead their boards through AI-driven change.

The webinar will feature an interactive panel discussion, where experienced non-executive directors will share their experiences and strategies for handling the challenges that AI brings to board work.

Additionally, as a participant, you will have the opportunity to take part in peer breakout sessions where you can share challenges, gain insights, and exchange best practices. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from other board members and gain insights into how AI can be implemented in board work.

Leadership

Thought Leadership. However, the direct translation from English, “thought leadership”, is not of much help if you want to understand the content and the deeper meaning. The term first appeared in management language in the 90s in the USA. In 1994, Joel Kurtzman, editor-in-chief of Strategy + Business magazine, used the term as a term for industry leaders who create innovation and new thinking in their own industries.

Strategy

Although 2025 has been an uncertain year, tariffs and geopolitical tensions have not significantly affected the global economy. But will there be a delayed effect? And have the huge investments in AI brought the world to the brink of a bubble?

Innovation

Must – must not? Is it a good idea to offer your employees a hybrid workplace – and is it a good idea for the organization as a whole? The answer is complex and actually not so “straightforward”. Gain important insight into the positive and negative consequences of hybrid work.
