Governance Intelligence
VerifiedJournal
Governance Intelligence, formerly known as Corporate Secretary is owned by IR Media Group.
Governance Intelligence was founded in 2002 to help corporate secretaries and other governance professionals develop a deeper understanding of their roles and become more effective in them at a time when publicly listed companies’ regulatory compliance requirements began to escalate amid a series of high-profile corporate accounting scandals.
Governance Intelligence is a digital content and events company, providing a forum where governance experts and service providers can share their experience, insights and best practice recommendations on a wide range of critical issues, from corruption, internal investigations, e-discovery and records management to succession planning, executive compensation, proxy actions and shareholder engagement. Governance Intelligence is independently owned and today continues to serve a vital role in highlighting the achievements and expertise of a group of people who work outside the spotlight and are often isolated as the only individuals in their organizations focusing on these complex matters.

AI can strengthen governance but it cannot replace judgement
AI continues to dominate boardroom discussions. The governance and legal teams that I speak to are often facing two related challenges: advising on the risks associated with AI and responding to growing expectations to use AI to deliver work more quickly and efficiently. The greatest value in AI is not that it can replace governance professionals. It is that it can give them more time to apply the judgement, challenge and experience that good governance depends upon.
