Questioning technology governance orthodoxy

Deloitte Center for Board Effectiveness (Mar 31/Apr 29, 2024) "Questioning technology governance orthodoxy" by Mike Bechtel (Managing Director and Chief Futurist), Carey Oven (National Managing Partner) and Bill Briggs (Chief Technology Officer) argues technology has woven itself through governance and that the rapid pace of advancement is challenging even for tech-savvy boards. Deloitte's framework names six macro technology forces — three elevating (interaction, information and computation) and three grounding (the business of technology, cyber and trust, and core modernisation) — together used to illuminate future trends. The piece marks the 2024 shift from AI emerging in 2023 to AI as a growth catalyst, and urges treating innovation as a strategic asset, not a novelty. Useful frame for SEA mid-market boards reviewing tech-committee charters.
