The 3 pains we hear in boardrooms
Pain 01 · Regulatory tsunami
"DORA already binds me. The AI Act is about to. I don't know where to start — and the auditor is already on the agenda."
How you solve it here: the entire Module 6 is dedicated to the AI Act + DORA + PSD3 + GDPR in parallel. You leave with an audit checklist, an internal AI policy and a compliance timeline ready to present.
Pain 02 · Control gap
"I want to use AI, but I'm afraid of a hallucination in an executive report. The risk of a misstatement is career-ending."
How you solve it here: across Modules 1 to 4 you cover Copilot for Finance, supervised agents, ERP integration, quality controls and validation. Speed with control, not blind speed.
Pain 03 · Authority anxiety
"I do manual reporting, I lose time, and the board demands insights now. The next presentation has 'AI strategy' as an item."
How you solve it here: in Modules 4 and 5 you build an explainable-AI treasury forecast and an executive board presentation with an AI narrative — to defend before the panel.
