# Inside the Grey Zone: Mastering Conflicts of Interest in the Boardroom

ICDM's half-day programme running 25 May 2026 focuses on how directors can identify, disclose, and navigate conflicts of interest that distort boardroom decision-making — a core cognitive-bias trap for mid-market CEOs and founder-directors. The session equips participants with frameworks to surface blind spots, maintain decision integrity, and uphold accountability in grey-area situations. For SEA scale-ups where founder influence can dominate deliberation, mastering this skill is essential to credible board governance.
