# Top 5 Corporate Governance Priorities for 2026

The Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance identifies scenario planning as now 'practical and iterative,' stress-testing how multiple stressors such as trade disruption, regulatory change, and cyber events can interact simultaneously — with the explicit goal of preparedness rather than prediction. The report also flags AI scenario exercises as a new board-level tool, elevating decision rehearsal from a risk function to a full governance practice. For SEA board members, this validates embedding structured stress-tests into every major strategic decision brought before the board, not just annual risk reviews.
