Baltic Institute of Corporate Governance (BICG) invites to attend the Baltic Corporate Governance Conference 2026 | The Long Game, which will be held on April 23^rd in Vilnius.

“In an age of geopolitical shifts, technological breakthroughs and other external pressures, the instinct might often be to focus only on the immediate future. Yet the very speed of change makes long-term thinking essential. By only reacting to the present, we would risk building systems, policies and strategies that quickly become obsolete. Baltic Corporate Governance Conference 2026 invites to explore how setting long-term horizons in a rapidly changing world helps navigate uncertainty, align short-term actions with enduring goals and create resilient companies,” says Rytis Ambrazevičius, President of the BICG.

Among the speakers, who will share their insight and advice:

• Staffan Bohman | Professional board member & chair

Widely experienced non-executive director, who most recently served as the Chair of the Board of Electrolux, the second largest appliance maker in the world. During the last two decades he has also served as the Chair, Vice Chair or Board member at such companies as Atlas Copco, Scania, Trelleborg, Boliden, Inter-IKEA Holding, Radisson Hotels, Vattenfall and others.

• Päivi Marttila | Professional board member & chair

She is currently the CEO of Edina, a family-owned private equity company, and a Board member of Savox Communications, a mission-critical communications provider for defense and security. 

• Colin Mayer | Professor Emeritus of Management Studies, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford

He advises companies, governments, international agencies, and regulators around the world, while his most recent book ‘Capitalism and Crises: How to Fix Them’ was published by the Oxford University Press in 2024.

Baltic Institute of Corporate Governance (BICG) has published the Guidelines for Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the Board Agenda to support boards in overseeing AI as a strategic topic.

The guidelines provide recommendations across key areas that require board attention, including:

• Strategic alignment and business impact: clarifying where AI can strengthen competitive advantage and where it may disrupt the business model;
• Investment evaluation: setting expectations for the business case, KPIs, resources and delivery approach;
• Risk, compliance and assurance: ensuring appropriate controls for data, cyber security, ethics, legal and reputational risks supported by internal and external audits where relevant;
• Implementation and monitoring: defining what management reports to the board, how outcomes are tracked, and how lessons learned are captured;
• Talent, strategic partnerships and education: strengthening capabilities and setting expectations for responsible use.

“AI is increasingly shaping how organisations compete, serve customers, run internal processes and manage risk. Therefore, many boards are asking the same questions — what is our AI ambition, where will value come from, what risks are we creating, who is accountable, how do we monitor progress and controls over time, etc. The new guidelines by the BICG are designed to help boards address these questions in a practical way, using clear board-level prompts and a simple structure that can be integrated into the board calendar as well as board committee work,” says Rytis Ambrazevičius, President of the BICG.

Outlining how to establish board oversight that is proportionate, practical and focused on outcomes, the new guidelines are now available online, HERE.
