Sarah Keane speaks on governance, business continuity, digital and AI change, and civil service recruitment. Past talks and upcoming events are listed here.
Sarah speaks on a small number of topics, in venues where the audience is going to use what they hear: governance and board work, business continuity, digital and AI change for non-technical leaders, and the practical mechanics of Irish civil service recruitment. Most events are by invitation, but the upcoming list below is open to public booking where that applies.
If you're putting together a conference, a board away-day, or a panel and you think one of these topics would be useful, email sarah@dedico.ie with a short description of the event.
Topics
- Governance for charities and non-profits in 2026. What the Charities Governance Code actually expects, what auditors look for, and the three governance gaps that come up most often in reviews.
- Business continuity for non-specialists. What an ISO 22301-aligned plan looks like for an operator who isn't a continuity professional, and how to test it without theatre.
- Digital and AI for SMEs, without the hype. What AI tools can credibly do for small and medium businesses today, what they can't, and how to decide what to adopt.
- Civil service recruitment, from the inside. How competency-based interviews actually work, what panels are looking for, and what candidates routinely get wrong.
- Communication for people who don't want to be performers. Voice, structure, and presence for professionals presenting work they care about.
