Hosted by governance professionals Adam Coonan and Lisa Coletta, the podcast examines the realities shaping Boardroom decision-making today — from director responsibilities and regulatory developments to the behavioural dynamics that influence how decisions are really made.


Drawing on their experience working with Boards, executives, and governance professionals, Lisa and Adam discuss the tensions, questions and emerging issues that sit behind formal governance frameworks.


Each episode explores the ideas, insights and real-world observations that influence governance in practice — including topics such as Boardroom accountability, director oversight, decision-making under uncertainty, the role of inquiry, and the evolving influence of technology.


Off the Record is for directors, governance professionals, executives and advisors who want to better understand the dynamics shaping governance and decision-making in modern organisations.

Episode 1 - The State of Governance: Are Boards Asking the Right Questions? In this first episode of Off the Record, Lisa Coletta and Adam Coonan explore the current state of governance — and what’s really shaping decision-making in Boardrooms.

Using the recent Star Casino decision as a starting point, they unpack the tension between reliance and inquiry, the blurring of roles between Boards and management, and the increasing pressure on directors to make decisions in complex, uncertain environments.

This episode goes beyond the case itself to explore the behavioural dynamics that influence governance in practice — including why silence occurs in the Boardroom, how assumptions take hold, and what happens when escalation expectations aren’t clearly defined.

Because governance doesn’t operate in documents.

It operates in rooms.

And more often than not, the things that shape decisions… are the things that don’t make the minutes.
