Your Board's AI Strategy May be Falling Short with Beth Grimm

Описание: How prepared is your board for the speed of change with AI?

There is no single AI tool that works across an organization. Employees may already be experimenting with non-sanctioned AI LLMs, often without leadership visibility or governance oversight.

Listen in as host Natalie Benamou is joined by Beth Grimm, an AI Governance and Risk Expert. Beth has extensive experience in life sciences, quality, and risk management. She brings a practical, grounded perspective on what boards and senior leaders need to understand about AI literacy, oversight, and accountability as adoption accelerates.

Together, they discuss why AI governance is about enabling growth while managing risk. From defining use cases before selecting platforms to recognizing where exposure shows up when employees adopt tools informally, this conversation ties AI decisions directly to board oversight, trust, and long-term value creation.

This episode is essential listening for board members, executives, and leaders navigating AI decisions that carry long-term strategic and fiduciary impact.

3 Key Takeaways:

AI strategy begins with the problem, not the tool
Leaders must define use cases, business outcomes, and KPIs before selecting platforms or signing enterprise contracts.
AI governance cannot sit with one person

Effective oversight requires cross-functional champions across legal, IT, business, HR, and risk, not a single owner working in isolation.

Oversight is continuous, not one-and-done
AI systems require ongoing human review, monitoring, and ROI measurement to ensure they behave as intended and deliver value.
