Executive Governance Retreats

Strategic Foresight for Boards and Leadership Teams

Boards of directors and top leadership teams operating in sensitive financial, geopolitical, or regulatory hubs face a unique convergence of ethical, reputational, and strategic risk. In response, Sqope Intelligence offers exclusive, confidential executive governance retreats designed to equip senior decision-makers with the clarity, tools, and mindset to navigate today’s most demanding environments. Originally developed for financial institutions, this service now extends to any organization facing elevated risk exposure, particularly in sectors such as energy, mining, technology, logistics, and real estate.

This offering is especially valuable during:

Periods of crisis or intense public scrutiny, when rapid, ethical, and well-informed decisions are critical
Transformative events such as mergers, acquisitions, or leadership transitions, which require alignment, discretion, and strategic clarity
Moments of strategic drift, ethical ambiguity, or reputational vulnerability, where independent foresight and principled leadership are essential

These retreats are personally led and designed by Marie-Christine Dupuis-Danon, an internationally recognized expert in financial integrity, governance, and institutional ethics. With decades of experience advising multilateral institutions, governments, and corporate boards, her unique perspective ensures a rigorous, high-trust environment where leadership teams can confront complexity, test ethical reflexes, and realign around shared values under pressure.

Key objectives:

Detect weak signals and blind spots linked to reputational or regulatory exposure
Reinforce ethical leadership and governance culture
Simulate high-pressure scenarios (e.g. controversial clients, political influence)
Strengthen collective decision-making under ambiguity and stress

Format:

1.5 to 2-day off-site retreats held in confidential, high-trust environments
Strictly off-the-record: no recordings, full NDA coverage
Fully tailored programs, with modular sessions shaped to the organization’s specific risks, culture, and goals

These retreats offer a rare moment of strategic distance, enabling leadership to anticipate vulnerabilities, stress-test their ethical posture, and realign around shared principles in times of uncertainty or change.
