Smarter steering with AI: How your AI Boardmember supports strategic decision-making

As an executive or management team, you face decisions every day that shape the future of your organization. Operationally, but also at a strategic level:
Where is your next growth opportunity? How do you respond intelligently to changes in the market? And how do you stay on course without changing direction every week? For questions like these, a new colleague is ready to help: the AI Boardmember. A smart digital sparring partner that helps you think through strategy, based on facts instead of gut feeling.

The challenge: strategic decisions in a complex world

As an executive or management team member, you want to:

- Evaluate scenarios (think geopolitical risks, climate policy, or shifting regulations).

- Quickly gain insight into risks, opportunities, and relevant trendsEnsure your strategy aligns with social and sustainability goals.

- Receive objective, data-driven input to manage uncertainty.

But: there’s an abundance of data, time is scarce, and the consequences of a wrong decision are significant. Strategic decision-making is becoming increasingly complex.

The solution: AI that thinks at board level

The AI Boardmember helps you get a quicker overview and make better decisions. Imagine this:

- The AI Boardmember develops scenarios and ideas
It models various scenarios: the impact of a new pricing strategy, expansion into another region, or launching an innovative product. This helps you uncover new opportunities and alternative growth paths.

- The AI Boardmember brings insight and structure
It documents decisions, links team plans, and connects your strategy to KPIs and progress. You immediately see where you stand and where adjustments are needed.

- The AI Boardmember conducts research and analysis
It detects market trends and risks, benchmarks your strategy against best practices and societal goals, and highlights new opportunities.

These are just examples of what the AI Boardmember could do: the possibilities are broad and continuously evolving.

Smart Integration with AI Teammates

The AI Boardmember is the AI Teammate for the board or management team. While the AI Teammate supports everyone in the organization with practical and repetitive tasks, the AI Boardmember helps with the bigger picture. That way, strategy and execution are seamlessly aligned.

Examples:
The AI Boardmember sees it’s smart to make procurement more sustainable. The AI Teammate for the Category Management team instantly selects the right suppliers and updates the contracts.

The AI Boardmember helps make the strategic decision about which country should be prioritized for international expansion. The Marketing team collaborates with Category Management and their AI Teammates to determine the right site location, positioning, and local partners for that new country.
