Board and AI Capability Diagnostics
Structured Reflection for Boards and Executive Leaders
Blind spots in board and executive judgement seldom announce themselves. They tend to surface under pressure, when a decision is already in motion. These two confidential diagnostics offer around ten minutes of disciplined reflection on your own thinking, grounded in published governance and leadership research. They show where your judgement is well founded, where it may be untested, and where closer review may be warranted. Each produces a confidential profile, a plain-English reading of what your responses indicate, and an equally clear statement of what they cannot tell you.
Board and Governance Diagnostic
For Chairs, directors and executives who want a structured view of how their board governs: strategic contribution, decision quality, governance judgement, stakeholder influence and related areas.
AI Capability Diagnostic
For boards and executives approving or overseeing AI investment and use: understanding, strategy and value, full cost, data and workforce readiness, and board oversight.
What These Diagnostics Are
They are reflections of your own thinking that identify opportunities for learning and, if useful, a starting point for a conversation. They are not a diagnosis, an audit or a benchmark against other organisations. A questionnaire completed by one person cannot replace an independent review.
After Your Results
If your results raise a question you would like to test, you are welcome to request a confidential discussion with the Principal. There is no obligation and no automated follow-up.
