The Proximity Revolution – A New Three-Sight Playbook Corporate Governance

The authors argue that the rise of Agentic AI and digitally decentralized business models demands a radical rethinking of corporate governance. As decisions become more distributed, rapid, and personalized, traditional oversight structures are increasingly obsolete. The authors propose a “Three-Sight” governance framework: Hindsight, Oversight, and Foresight to help boards navigate this transformation. Drawing lessons from history and cases like Boeing, the article advocates for tech-enabled, real-time governance tools, including AI-driven after-action reviews, always-on risk scanning, and automated foresight systems. Boards must evolve from static overseers to dynamic enablers of agility, accountability, and continuous innovation.
