How Boards Should Govern AI Agents

An agent registry, a risk framework, and human-in-the-loop rules. the minimum board-level governance.

Inventory first

You cannot govern what you cannot see. Maintain a central agent registry.

For every risk, name the control: human approval, permission restriction, audit log, knowledge governance.

Sensitive decisions remain human. The agent prepares; the human approves.

Boards see a quarterly agentic operations report: agents, workflows, value, incidents, risks.

Start with an Agentic Value Scan. We find the trapped value, design the workflows, and ship the agents.
