Executive briefing
Give the board a better AI conversation.
The Frontier Briefing is a private 90-minute session for boards and executive teams that need a shared vocabulary for AI opportunity, governance, human accountability, Microsoft’s direction, and the decisions leadership should be asking next.
A short form. We reply within one business day.
A paid engagement, from $7,500.

What the session covers
Six things a board should be able to discuss.
-
What changed
Why Microsoft Copilot (formerly Microsoft 365 Copilot), agents, usage-based AI, and AI-enabled workflows are changing the operating model rather than simply adding another software tool.
-
Where value actually appears
How to separate useful capacity from novelty: repetitive knowledge work, coordination, research, service, reporting, decision preparation, and workflow execution.
-
What should remain human
Authority, accountability, judgment, sensitive decisions, approvals, and the boundaries leadership should define before deployment.
-
What governance now means
Identity, data, permissions, agent ownership, lifecycle, security, cost, measurement, and policy.
-
What Microsoft is building toward
Current Microsoft concepts such as Work IQ, Microsoft Copilot, agents, Microsoft Agent 365, and Frontier Transformation, translated into plain language rather than partner jargon.
-
What the board should ask next
A practical set of questions for management about priorities, readiness, risk, value, ownership, and operating discipline.
The arc runs from context to action: the session ends with the questions the board should put to management next.
Boundaries
What the Briefing is not.
- Not a technical assessment
- Not a tenant review
- Not a product demo
- Not a substitute for a 90-day roadmap
- Not a commitment to buy Centered Networks services
If the board wants a written plan tied to the actual environment, the next product is the 90-Day AI Roadmap.
The Frontier Briefing is free. Session length, format, and attendees are confirmed when it is scheduled.
A second briefing for security leaders
Security for AI Briefing.
Is it safe to turn Copilot on? A half-day briefing for the people who have to answer.
We show what Copilot and your agents can see, where your Zero Trust readiness stands, and which controls to put in place first.
Who it is for
The people who decide
- CISOs and IT directors at nonprofits, foundations, and hospitals.
- Boards that have asked whether AI is safe to turn on.
- Leaders who suspect files are shared more widely than anyone intended.
Half a day, one control plan
What you get
One control plan to act on
- Exposure walk-through. Copilot and agent exposure: oversharing, agent inventory, and identity.
- Zero Trust view. Where your readiness stands today.
- Control plan. The Microsoft Agent 365 and Microsoft Purview controls to turn on first, in order.
- Next step. A recommendation into CompleteCare Govern, CompleteCare Shield, or Managed AgentOps.

Common questions.
Why offer these briefings?
Because leadership alignment is often a prerequisite for good AI decisions. The session is useful on its own even when no project follows.
Who leads each briefing?
Chris Grecsek or another senior Centered Networks leader leads the session, with additional Microsoft, security, data, or healthcare expertise brought in when the audience requires it.
Is this a sales pitch?
No product presentation is required. If the board asks how Centered Networks would address a specific next step, we will answer directly.
What if the board wants a written plan?
Then the next product is the 90-Day AI Roadmap, which produces a written plan tied to your actual Microsoft environment. The Briefing is not a substitute for it.
Is the Security for AI Briefing a penetration test or an audit?
No. It is a briefing that shows where AI exposure sits and what to control first. What we review, and how we access it, is agreed with you in writing before we start.
Who should attend the Security for AI Briefing?
Your security or IT lead, plus an executive or board member who will make the call.
Do we need Copilot turned on already?
No. The briefing is most useful before you turn it on.
Make the next board AI discussion more useful than the last one.
Tell us who will be in the room and what they are already arguing about. We tailor the session to the questions your leadership actually has.
