Blog Post Title One

Week 1 – “Why I Finally Did the AICD Course”

• Candid personal reflection: “I thought years of consulting gave me board perspective — until I realised where my blind spots were.”

• Share specific moments where formal training shifted how you think about risk, accountability, or decision-making.

• Gentle call to action: encourage other technologists to do it, demystify it.

Week 2 – “From Tech Guy to Boardroom: Gaps You Don’t See Until You’re There”

• Contrast engineering precision vs. governance ambiguity.

• Discuss how data, evidence, and clarity are valued differently at board level.

• Bridge to your belief that data science mindsets — curiosity, measurement, iteration — are vital in governance.

Week 3 – “Flying a Little Blind: Why Mid-Market Boards Struggle with Assurance”

• Personal observation: boards often make decisions with incomplete insight.

• Talk about cost, time, and access barriers to independent review.

• Introduce the concept of “independent assurance without the audit.”

Week 4 – “When the Economics Don’t Work”

• Deep dive into why the consulting and assurance model is structurally misaligned for SMEs.

• Explore both sides: clients who can’t afford it, consultants who can’t scale it.

• Frame the opportunity: what if assurance could be productised?

Week 5 – “Rethinking Independent Assurance”

• Introduce your thesis: intelligent self-assessment and evidence capture.

• Illustrate with parallels — accounting software vs. accountants, or self-serve tax tools vs. tax advisors.

• Emphasise it’s not about replacing expertise, but widening access and consistency.

Week 6 – “The Confidence Gap: Why Good Boards Still Miss the Mark”

• Discuss how confident decision-making isn’t always informed decision-making.

• Use anecdotes (anonymised) of boards over-relying on management narratives.

• Bridge to diagnostics as a discipline of validation.

Week 7 – “The Rise of the Diagnostic Mindset”

• Explain what diagnostics are (light, focused, repeatable reviews).

• Contrast with traditional audits or consulting engagements.

• Use relatable examples (product health checks, cybersecurity posture reviews).

Week 8 – “Health Checks, Maturity, and the Self-Audit Future”

• Show how diagnostics can become part of business rhythm — like monthly reporting, but for governance and risk.

• Touch on the potential of self-service platforms like Koncura to make this accessible.

• Include one “real world” case vignette or imagined scenario.

Week 9 – “Beyond Compliance: What Independent Assurance Really Buys You”

• Summarise the benefit story: confidence, investor readiness, credibility, resilience.

• Include a brief reflection on your own shift from data consulting to confidence consulting.

Week 10 – “Building the Future of Assurance”

• Forward-looking piece.

• Talk about AI, adaptive interviews, sufficiency logic, and the ethical line between automation and judgment.

• Position Koncura as a pioneer in that evolution.

✳️ Tone and style suggestions

• Keep it short and reflective (600–800 words).

• Lead each with a story or moment of realisation.

• Finish with a bridge — one idea that connects to the next week’s post.

• Alternate between personal, insightful, and topical.
