1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Co-chair of Supply Nation and Fortescue director Penny Bingham-Hall joins Boardroom Confidential to unpack some of the major issues facing today’s boards: harnessing AI’s predictive power, overseeing cyber risk in a “when, not if” world, and lifting climate governance from compliance to capability. &amp;nbsp; We also explore the craft of a high-performing board (diverse, collegiate, agenda-sharp), how to build a deliberate portfolio career, and why First Nations procurement is a powerful, practical lever for impact. &amp;nbsp; Key Themes: &amp;nbsp; AI readiness starts with data — know what data you hold, who owns it, and whether your architecture can use it. When cyber hits: plan, then get out of the way — management runs the incident; the chair streamlines comms. Climate governance in action — treat year one of mandatory reporting as a learning year; close data gaps early. Board craft — diverse yet collegiate boards, agenda discipline, safe debate Portfolio building — define your value proposition, test culture and values fit, and be deliberate about mix. Procurement for impact — First Nations supplier engagement as a practical pathway to Reconciliation.
