LeaderCoreAIAI-powered board governance simulation
LeaderCore:
Practice high-stakes boardroom decisions in realistic scenarios with AI-driven characters that challenge, persuade, and test your governance skills. Real board crises allow no rehearsal - this simulation gives your directors the practice that case studies and lectures cannot.
What you'll experience
Sit at a board table where everyone has an agenda
You join a board meeting as an independent director, the chair or a shareholder's nominee, with three to five AI colleagues: a chair in a hurry, a founder who won't let go, a CEO who lobbies you before the vote, a director who stays quiet unless you bring her in. Scenarios include an emergency CEO succession, an unsolicited takeover bid, a whistleblower's allegation and a product safety crisis.
Spot the conflict before it becomes a crisis
The characters you meet in the simulations have personal motivations and hidden truths, that will influence their behavior: a director's personal tie to a candidate, a CEO whose bonus depends on the vote, a broker's fee nobody disclosed. It comes out only if you ask the right questions and insist on the information you need before the board commits.
Question a proposal before the board votes on it
The chair wants a vote now, the CEO is confident and the others are ready to agree. You practice testing claims, setting conditions with dates attached and drawing in quieter directors, without accusing anyone. Some scenarios add news as the meeting goes on, such as a leak to the press or a warning from the bank.
Graded on five governance dimensions
The report grades Strategic Oversight, Fiduciary Judgment, Governance Integrity, Stakeholder Stewardship and Constructive Challenge, based on specific moments in the meeting where what you did made a difference.
Feedback, coaching and the right level of challenge
Your feedback and performance report is ready within seconds of the simulation ending. It quotes your own words for what went well, points to the moments that lowered a score and provides you with recommendations for next time. Five difficulty levels decide how hard the other directors are to win over, and during the meeting you can call on a coach who helps you step back and reflect on what the situation requires - but won't tell you what to say. Your individual scores are visible only to you.
Enter, challenge, debrief
Enter
Step into a high-stakes boardroom scenario - an emergency succession, a hostile bid, or a safety crisis - alongside AI directors with their own personalities and hidden agendas.
Challenge
Ask probing questions, challenge management's assumptions and debate the key issues with the other directors before the board decides. Hold the executives accountable for decisions that serve the company's long-term interests.
Debrief
Get a feedback and performance review report: what went well, which moments lowered your score, and recommendations for next time. Your own dashboard tracks your progress across sessions.
What's inside the simulation
LeaderCore:Boards puts directors and senior leaders inside high-stakes boardroom scenarios where AI-driven characters challenge, persuade, and test their governance instincts. When a CEO resigns unexpectedly or a hostile bid arrives, there's no second chance to get it right - and traditional case studies and lectures cannot replicate the pressure of managing competing interests in real-time. This simulation gives your board the rehearsal that real crises never allow.
What's included
- AI characters with depth - realistic personalities, hidden agendas, and authentic behavioral patterns drawn from many distinct director and CEO archetypes
- For example, real-world governance scenarios - emergency CEO succession, hostile acquisition offers, whistleblower allegations, and product safety crises
- Performance grading - detailed feedback on five governance dimensions
- Analytics dashboard - track progress, identify skill gaps, and measure improvement over time
Example scenarios
These are just a few examples from a growing scenario library:
- CEO Succession Under Pressure - emergency succession with competing board factions and hidden conflicts of interest
- The Uninvited Acquisition Offer - uphold fiduciary duty when management interests diverge from shareholders
- The Whistleblower's Allegation - investigate a charismatic CEO while managing loyalty conflicts
- The Product Safety Crisis - balance patient safety against legal exposure under time pressure
Designed for time-constrained executives, each session runs 15-30 minutes - immersive, measurable, and scalable across your entire board.
