Blind spots in the boardroom can lead to overlooked risks and missed opportunities. In an era of increasing volatility, boards must enhance their processes to anticipate challenges, manage conflicts, and oversee disruptive technologies like AI. In this discussion, CLAUDIA H. ALLEN of KPMG, Vivek Chidambaram of Accenture, and Travis Wofford of Baker Botts share insights on strengthening risk oversight, navigating boardroom conflicts, and evolving governance models to meet emerging challenges. They also examine AI’s growing impact on leadership and decision-making—highlighting why traditional experience alone isn’t enough to prepare for the future. Moderated by Dennis T. Whalen, NACD.DC, this session explores how boards can refine their oversight, sharpen strategic foresight, and stay agile in an ever-changing business landscape.
