March 16, 2026 — In a recent episode of In Conversation, Mike Fry, who leads the Entity Management practice at Elevate, explores how AI is reshaping governance operations and why areas such as entity management and company secretarial support may be well-suited for early adoption.

Mike highlights that AI and automation can reduce routine, process-led work such as reminders, approvals, document assembly, and data handling, allowing governance teams to shift their focus to higher-value, strategic activities. At the same time, he notes that the gap between expectations for AI and operational reality remains significant, emphasising that organisations must first address process design, data access, and AI readiness before these technologies can be applied effectively in enterprise environments.

The conversation also touches on the potential impact of geopolitical and regulatory shifts, which may lead to more restructuring and execution work for governance teams in the years ahead.
