In this episode, servicePath™ CEO Daniel Kube sits down with his longtime friend Mike—a former Attorney General, Minister of Economic Development, and board director—to unpack how boards should navigate AI, crisis, and culture without losing strategic focus. Mike shares hard-won lessons from public life, leading Invest Toronto and Legal Aid BC, and writing 28 Seconds, weaving them into a practical playbook for directors and executives.

What you’ll learn:

AI in the boardroom (without the hype): Why “authoritative” but wrong outputs (hallucinations) can derail decisions—and how directors can build data literacy fast.

A crisis command plan: The first calls to make (communications + the best lawyer you can get), how to avoid isolation, and why speed + traceability beat silence.

From reports to real-time: Ditch ponderous board packs; stand up always-on dashboards so meetings focus on risk, opportunity, and strategy—not readouts.

Digital justice & legal ops: How modernizing courts and case flow could cut cycle times by 90%—and what legal leaders can adopt now.

Culture under stress: Keeping people engaged amid AI anxiety; separating aptitude gaps from attitude issues; why up-skilling is non-negotiable.

Regulation that works: Apply existing principles (malice, recklessness, negligence) and demand traceability—without stifling innovation.

Board–management symbiosis: Governance that actually helps operators win—plus the measurements that matter.

Stand-out moments:

“Don’t bargain-hunt a lawyer in a crisis. Get the best—and let them work.”

“If I can teach myself Python to ship a daily insights bot, directors can, too.”

“Many orgs say ‘strategy’—but really run ‘spend the budget’ as their plan.”

“Authoritative tone ≠ truth. Hallucinations are a governance risk, not a party trick.”

“Use AI to kill the board pack; meet on decisions, not documents.”

Board members, CEOs, CFOs, GCs, and operators building AI-enabled governance without losing sight of people, purpose, or profit – this ones for you.
