Smart Boardrooms – Strategic Foresight Using Predictive Analytics

I’m excited to announce that my article “Smart Boardrooms: Strategic Foresight Using Predictive Analytics“ has been published in Directorial Disha Magazine, Volume #18, September 2025.  Read the full article 

The article explores how predictive analytics is revolutionising executive decision-making, moving boardrooms from intuition-based approaches to data-driven foresight. I discuss the critical shift where CEOs now leverage historical data, advanced mathematics, and machine learning to forecast outcomes with unprecedented accuracy—something that would have seemed like science fiction a decade ago.

While predictive analytics offers tremendous potential, successful implementation requires clean data, cross-departmental collaboration, and board-level data literacy. The competitive advantage is clear: companies integrating these tools report increased profit margins, reduced costs, and faster market responses, transforming from reactive followers to proactive leaders.

As AI and Machine Learning continue to advance, this represents not just a technological upgrade but a fundamental shift toward intelligent, forward-thinking corporate governance. The message is simple: foresight is in, hindsight is out—and if you’re not on board, you’re already behind.
