Boards rarely fail from lack of expertise - they fail because of human dynamics. 

In the last of four episodes themed on board engagement, we explore how boards think, decide, and sometimes derail, even with brilliant people in the room.

We explore the psychology, culture, and power dynamics that quietly shape governance outcomes - far beyond frameworks and checklists. 

ICA Vice President Tim Tyler talks to Paul Eccleson, an experienced Chief Risk Officer with a strong background in psychology and AI. 

Topics include: 

  • Why good boards make bad decisions 
  • Cognitive biases in risk oversight 
  • Psychological safety at the top table 
  • Ego, culture, and status in governance 

 Bring your questions and observations, and leave with actionable insights.
