## In this episode

- **Australia's rising cyber costs:** what the latest threat report tells us about organisational resilience and the board's preparedness for a serious incident.
- **Singapore's new AI governance guidelines:** what regulators expect of boards, and why knowing where AI is being used matters for organisations everywhere.
- **The ever more crowded board agenda:** new research from Teneo explores how growing demands on directors are squeezing the time available for strategy.
- **Do boards agree on their biggest risks?** A UK survey finds chairs, non-executives and chief executives rank risks very differently: 38 per cent of non-executives put cyber in their top three, against 8 per cent of chief executives.

We also revisit a question raised at London's NED Debate: could directors using the same AI tools end up thinking alike?
