The Governance Grey Zones: Strategy and Risk

Part 1 of 2 Webinars

(Next on July 10th - Click to view)

Governance lives in the grey zone—where strategy and risk meet oversight. Join us to explore how boards can navigate this space with clarity and alignment. Discover how strategic and risk oversight can be interpreted—and applied—in ways that best serve your board’s unique context.

Governance doesn’t happen in black and white. It lives in the grey zone—where strategic direction and risk oversight intersect. This space is complex, often unclear, and highly dependent on your board’s unique context.

In this practical and thought-provoking session, we’ll unpack how boards can navigate the grey zone with clarity, alignment, and confidence. You’ll learn how to interpret and apply strategic and risk oversight in ways that support sound decision-making and forward momentum.

Join us to explore:

  • What the “governance grey zone” really means—and why it matters

  • How boards can balance strategic opportunity with risk mitigation

  • Practical tools to align your oversight with your organisation’s purpose and priorities

    Whether you’re a director, chair, or executive supporting the board, this webinar will sharpen your understanding of governance at the intersection of strategy and risk—and help your board lead more effectively in uncertain times.

Watching BoardPro webinar

Why attend this webinar?

Board governance doesn’t always offer clear-cut answers—especially where strategy and risk collide. The real work often happens in the grey zone, where directors must interpret, balance, and align oversight with big-picture goals.

In this free webinar, we’ll explore how boards can:

  • Make sense of ambiguity when strategy and risk overlap
  • Apply oversight in a way that fits their unique organisational context
  • Bring clarity, alignment, and purpose to complex boardroom decisions

You’ll gain practical insights to help your board operate with greater confidence—especially when the path forward isn’t black and white.

Whether you're a chair, director, or senior executive, this session will help you better navigate the governance grey zone and elevate your strategic contribution.
