This Webinar

Boardrooms are where the most consequential decisions are made. Yet decision-making remains the board’s most neglected muscle. This webinar pulls back the curtain on how ego-driven biases, misaligned incentives and outdated governance rituals quietly sabotage company health and investor trust. 

We’ll dive into the 4Ls Framework (Logic, Learning, Leadership and Legacy), a practical model for building governance that’s intentional, transparent, traceable and accountable. You’ll learn to spot the hidden traps that erode board performance and walk away with practical tools and guardrails to future-proof your decision-making culture. Before it’s too late.

What You’ll Learn:

  1. Why decision-making is the board most powerful – and most neglected –  responsibility
  2. How ego, upbringing, and unconscious bias shape boardroom behaviour more than strategy or data
  3. A deep dive into the 4L’s Framework (Logic Learning, Leadership and Legacy) a compass for better decisions
  4. The silent traps boards fall into under each L – and how to spot them before they erode trust
  5. Concrete tools and guardrails boards can adopt immediately to strengthen governance and accountability
