Board-level articles, research notes, and governance intelligence from Touch Stone Publishers. Every piece is written from a single premise: the governance question comes before the technology question. Always.
Editorial map
Read by the decision a senior leader must make.
Board Oversight
What must be visible to the board, what must be governed before it becomes a liability, and what a director must be able to say when the question arrives.
Profitability
Where AI creates measurable value, how to build the evidence standard that makes that value defensible, and what ROI discipline looks like at the board level.
Risk and Policy
Controls, legal exposure, regulatory signals, enforcement patterns, and the accountability structure that separates a defensible governance decision from one that has to be explained.
Workforce Trust
AI adoption without unnecessary harm — the human capital governance questions that sit between management’s deployment authority and the board’s accountability for what happens to the workforce.
Sector Intelligence
AI governance signals by sector — financial services, healthcare, technology, energy, consumer — for boards and executive teams whose governance posture is shaped by their regulatory and competitive environment.
Daily board intelligence
The Chairman’s Briefing newsletter. Board-level AI governance signals, daily.
Touch Stone’s LinkedIn newsletter brings a board-level AI governance signal to senior leaders every morning. Written in the same voice as the briefings and playbooks — no enthusiasm, no noise, no generic AI commentary. Just the signal that matters and why it matters to this audience.
