About The Event
In Person | May 29, 2025 | 1:00 PM - 6:00 PM CDT | Houston, TX
This highly interactive session brought corporate directors together for a deep dive into how artificial intelligence is reshaping strategy, governance, and long-term value creation.
Led by expert facilitators from KUNGFU.AI and KPMG, the workshop featured real-world case studies, practical frameworks, and hands-on exercises. Participants explored AI maturity models, tackled governance dilemmas, and practiced guiding AI-related decisions at the board level.
Rather than just hearing about AI, directors actively engaged with it—leaving the session better equipped to ask the right questions, assess strategic alignment, and lead with confidence in a rapidly evolving landscape.
Learning Outcomes
- Develop a clear mental model for evaluating AI strategies across different maturity levels—learning how to ask the right questions, assess alignment with enterprise goals, and guide management through decisions and trade-offs.
- Understand how AI reshapes governance responsibilities and gain practical tools to anticipate and respond to real-world dilemmas like unintentional failures, brand damage, and stakeholder pressure.
- Practice guiding management through AI-related inflection points with hands-on exercises that simulate real board decision-making to drive value and impact.
