Off the Record
Off the Record explores the governance conversations that don’t always make it into the minutes.
Hosted by governance professionals Adam Coonan and Lisa Coletta, the podcast examines the realities shaping Boardroom decision-making today — from director responsibilities and regulatory developments to the behavioural dynamics that influence how decisions are really made.
Drawing on their experience working with Boards, executives, and governance professionals, Lisa and Adam discuss the tensions, questions and emerging issues that sit behind formal governance frameworks.
Each episode explores the ideas, insights and real-world observations that influence governance in practice — including topics such as Boardroom accountability, director oversight, decision-making under uncertainty, the role of inquiry, and the evolving influence of technology.
Off the Record is for directors, governance professionals, executives and advisors who want to better understand the dynamics shaping governance and decision-making in modern organisations.
