Put AI on the board agenda.
And someone in the room who has done it.
Most boards talk about AI in the abstract. Trends, threats, a slide someone found. Brett comes to your board and makes it concrete. What to adopt, what to ignore, what your competitors already run, and what it means for your numbers this year. He brings the whole table up to the same level on agentic AI, then leaves you with a plan you can act on.
A seat at the table for the AI conversation.
Brett does not lecture. He sits with your board and works through where AI fits in your business, function by function. Compliance. People. Systems. The tech stack. Where the risk is, where the easy wins are, and where the industry is heading.
He runs AI in his own businesses first. So the room gets an operator's view: practical, current, and honest about what will not work.
What Brett covers.
Compliance & Governance
Where AI sits with your regulators, your data, and your duty as directors. The case for guardrails over outright bans, and the questions a board should be asking before anyone ships.
Your Team
What AI does to roles, hiring and morale. How to augment your people instead of frightening them, and what to say to the team on Monday.
Systems & Workflow
The handovers between your people and your software, rebuilt so AI carries the admin while your team keeps the decisions.
The Tech Stack
What is worth buying, what is hype, and what you already pay for that could do far more. An honest read on the tools in front of you.
Inspiration
What good actually looks like. Real examples from businesses like yours, so the board can see it working, not just hear about it.
The Future of Business
Where agentic AI takes your industry over the next few years, and the moves that compound if you start now.
Industry-Specific Ideas
Use cases mapped to your sector, your customers and your margins. Brought to the session, not improvised in it.
Agentic AI, Explained
The shift from chatbots to agents that do the work, in plain English the whole board can follow.
Custom topics on request. We shape the agenda to your board.
He arrives with the homework done.
Before Brett walks in, he studies your world. You get a briefing built for your table, not a stock talk wheeled from one boardroom to the next.
Your industry
Where AI is landing in your sector, what is regulated, what is moving, and what is still noise.
Your competitors
Who is already adopting, what they have shipped, and where that leaves you. The board sees the field, not a guess.
Your business
A read on where AI would move your numbers first, mapped to how you actually operate today.
Four ways to bring Brett in.
Board Briefing
A focused session with your board. The state of AI in your industry, the real risks and wins, and a clear set of next moves. The fastest way to get everyone aligned.
Half-Day Session
The briefing, plus a working session. We go function by function and start mapping where AI fits, with your leadership in the room.
Full-Day Intensive
A deep working day. Research presented, every function worked through, and a costed plan your board can sign off before Brett leaves.
Non-Executive Director
A standing seat at your table on the AI agenda. Brett joins quarter after quarter, keeping the board ahead as the technology moves.
Every engagement is scoped to your board. Tell us what you need and we'll match the format.
An operator, not a commentator.
Brett Alegre-Wood has spent four decades building and running businesses. He sits on his own boards and a handful of others.
He has seen AI from inside a property group, a tyre retailer, a lettings agency and a global events brand. From the operator's chair, before any keynote stage.
He advises across property, finance and wealth, automotive and trades, roofing, recruitment, education, professional services, global events, and the worlds of franchise and MLM.
This is for your board if...
AI keeps coming up and nobody owns it
Every meeting touches AI. Every meeting leaves it unresolved. You want one session that settles the direction.
You want the board aligned, fast
Founders, directors and execs on the same page about what you are doing with AI, and what you are deliberately leaving alone.
You would rather hear it from an operator
Someone who runs AI in real businesses across real industries, who will tell you plainly what is worth your time.
