Governance IQ
Four critical issues. Four boardroom experiences.
Better decisions.
Focused, facilitated sessions that help corporate boards and directors make sense of climate, nature, inclusion and disclosure—and ask better questions of management.
What does your board need
to understand next?
Book one session to address a priority issue, or build a four-part series into your board education calendar. Each session connects the topic to strategy, risk and oversight.
Can your board govern a changing climate?
Understand physical and transition risks, resilience and the implications for capital allocation. Explore what credible climate oversight requires—and where directors should challenge assumptions.
What would change in your strategy if climate risk were treated as a business risk?
Discuss Climate IQ →How much of your business depends on nature?
Examine dependencies on water, land, biodiversity and ecosystem services. Connect nature loss to supply chains, operational resilience and long-term value.
Which dependencies are invisible on your balance sheet?
Discuss Nature IQ →Who is missing from the decisions that shape your business?
Explore how power, representation and organizational culture influence judgment, talent and trust. Consider the evidence directors need to assess inclusion beyond policies and headcounts.
Whose perspective could change the decision in front of you?
Discuss Inclusion IQ →Does your board know what it is signing off on?
Connect sustainability disclosures to governance, materiality and accountability. Examine the evidence, internal controls and management judgments behind public statements.
