Board Update Template

A one-page format for talking about AI with your board. Three sections, ten minutes of board time, one decision out the door.

Reviewed by Level Up Automate.
TL;DR
  • Three sections: what we use, what could go wrong, what we're doing about it.

  • Designed for 10 minutes of board time on a quarterly basis.

  • Always end with a single 'asks' line: scope, budget, or accountability.

Sections to include

Each section is short.

  • What we use: tool inventory + what each is for.
  • What could go wrong: top 3 risks + status.
  • What we're doing about it: policy status, training cadence, recent incidents.
  • Asks: one decision the board needs to make this quarter.
