    AI enters the Boardroom

    AI is changing how businesses create value, make decisions, and compete.
    For boards, AI is no longer a question of whether, but how: How to seize the opportunities, manage the risks, and lead responsibly through rapid change.

    Join us for a conversation about the board’s role in a technology-driven landscape. Together with three experienced leaders, we will explore how boards can use AI strategically, strengthen competitiveness, and create long-term value while managing risk.

    Panelists
    Bente Sollid, CEO of Digital Hverdag, Board Chair at Sonat Topco, and Board Member at Norse Atlantic, Kredittbanken, Polaris Media, and others.

    Karl-Christian Agerup, Board Chair at Vend and Oslo Science Park, Board Member at Tinius Trust and RunwayFBU, and Vice Chair of the NATO Innovation Fund, among other roles.

    Moderator
    Alexander Haneng, AI expert at Digital Norway.

    Together, we'll explore how boards can approach AI strategically, strengthen competitiveness, and create long-term value in an increasingly technology-driven world.

    The event is held in Norwegian. Seats are limited, so we encourage early sign up. Thanks for registering and we are looking forward to seeing you. 

    Participation in the first two events is free of charge. By registering for a third event in Selection F, you will automatically be enrolled as a member and invoiced for a 12-month membership. 

    We completely understand that plans sometimes change. At the same time, last-minute no-shows can lead to unnecessary costs and food waste. Therefore, we will introduce a no-show fee if you are registered but do not attend and have not informed us beforehand.

    In the event of a no-show we will charge you 500 NOK. Please e-mail contact@selectionf.com no later than three days before the event if you cannot attend.

    Nordic Board Education - Finland

    Nordic Board Education continues in Finland, with the next programme starting in early March 2027.

    Uncertainty, rapid change, rising expectations for growth and the fast advance of AI are reshaping board work.

    Nordic boards need new competencies, fresh perspectives and the ability to navigate complex challenges, and that is exactly what this programme is built to develop.

    Nordic Board Education is designed for experienced executives with strong leadership backgrounds, whether they already have some board experience or are taking their first steps towards a board career. What they share is the ambition to contribute to boards in Finland and across the Nordics. Alongside the core of board work, the programme addresses artificial intelligence and what it means for boards: how to recognise its strategic opportunities, govern its risks and ask the right questions of management.

    The spring 2027 programme consists of six sessions:

    • 4 March, 13:30–19:00
    • 17 March, 14:30–19:00
    • 8 April, 14:30–19:00
    • 22 April, 14:30–19:00
    • 4 May, 14:30–19:00
    • 13 May, 14:30–19:00

    Participants in Nordic Board Education during fall 2026 gave the programme excellent feedback:

    • 4.65/5 – Overall satisfaction
    • 4.82/5 – Likelihood of recommending it to others
    • 4.82/5 – Value for their own board careers

    We keep our participant groups small and intimate, leaving room for open discussion and lasting connections with fellow participants.

    BoardRoom+ and SelectionF members receive a discount on the programme fee.

    Want to know more? Join our online webinar. Mona-Maria Ilola, Managing Director of Birn+Partners Finland, will introduce the programme’s objectives and content, and Peter Agergaard, Group Head of Board, will discuss how global megatrends are shaping the future of board work and the competencies board members need. Further details will be shared during the session.

    You can read more about the programme here and including why Birn+Partners founded the first Nordic Board Education in Finland and why Nordic co-operation is essential for boards today.
