AI is a governance issue, not just an IT project
Boards cannot afford to rubber-stamp multimillion-shilling AI pitches without understanding the risks, regulatory compliance and realistic returns. This immersion equips directors with the vocabulary and framework to govern AI authoritatively.
Fiduciary duty & risk
Define the board’s liability, establish an AI Ethics & Risk Committee charter, and put in clear guardrails against hallucinations, copyright claims and reputational damage.
Location of your choice
Conducted where your board works best: at your headquarters, a private boardroom in Nairobi, or an executive retreat in Naivasha, Maasai Mara, the Coast or overseas.
Vendor due diligence
Learn how to critically evaluate consultant and software vendor proposals, and separate true operational leverage from overpriced, repackaged open-source models.
The 3 to 4 day board strategic agenda
Structured around board discussions, case studies and drafting your organisation’s actual Board AI Governance Charter.
The boardroom reality: AI economics, capability & exposure
- Demystifying the technology: foundation models, fine-tuning, agentic workflows and internal embeddings
- Macro-economic impact across African enterprises: where companies actually win and where they lose capital
- Audit of your current organisation: shadow AI use, unregulated employee tool adoption and hidden risks
Fiduciary AI governance, ethics & regulatory compliance
- Compliance with the Kenya Data Protection Act (KDPA), cross-border data transfer and global AI mandates
- Director oversight checklist: managing algorithms that affect pricing, credit, HR hiring and customers
- Drafting your organisation’s formal Board AI Policy and Acceptable Use Charter
Capital allocation, vendor evaluation & competitive moats
- Scrutinising management and vendor AI budgets: real payback periods versus speculative vanity metrics
- Data sovereignty: retaining ownership of corporate intellectual property and client knowledge
- Building defensive moats: protecting proprietary business models from AI-native startups
Executive simulation & 12-month implementation roadmap
- War-gaming a corporate AI crisis: a data breach, hallucinated advisory output or model failure drill
- Reviewing and signing off the management team’s 12-month AI roadmap and KPI scorecard
- Executive debrief and governance certificate presentation

Victor brings a disciplined engineering perspective to the boardroom. He holds a degree in Aeronautical Engineering and has consulted on enterprise systems, data pipelines and operations for African enterprises, universities and institutions. He is also an IBM and Google-certified AI expert and AI researcher with an engineering background. His approach is simple: AI is useless if the processes underneath it are broken, so he starts with how your work actually runs, then puts AI where it earns its place.
If a spreadsheet works better than an AI bot, he will tell you to use the spreadsheet.
“AI is useless if the underlying processes and governance are broken.”
We teach boards how to cut through tech-vendor hype and make decisions that protect the balance sheet and the brand.
