Strengthening Board Leadership in a Fast-Changing Tech Landscape

Guest: Matt Davies — Former CTO, Shared Services Canada | Board Member | Senior Advisor, StrategyCorp

Technology has shifted the centre of gravity in the boardroom. Once focused primarily on risk and budgets, today's boards must understand AI, data, cybersecurity, cloud, and the culture shifts that accompany them.

In this episode, Amy Yee and Matt Davies explore how boards can build fluency in emerging technologies, support leadership teams through uncertainty, and provide forward-looking stewardship rather than reactive oversight.

Together, they unpack:

How directors can move from oversight to foresight
What AI, cyber, and data governance mean for modern governance
The rising importance of culture, tone at the top, and talent readiness
How board composition and committee structures are evolving
Practical ways boards can accelerate learning (tabletops, outside expertise, briefings)
Why continuous learning is now essential for every director

Whether you sit on a board, advise one, or aspire to join one, this episode offers clear insight into what leadership looks like in a fast-changing technological era.
