Who it is for.

  • Organisations whose people already use AI, with no clear rules yet.
  • Leaders who need to show their board or regulator that AI is under control.
  • Teams preparing for a wider rollout of AI tools.
What you get

The governance pack.

What changes for you. Your people know what they can use AI for, who decides and who is accountable.

  • A governance operating model: who decides, who is accountable, who is consulted.
  • Core policies, ready for you to approve: AI use and data governance.
  • An AI and data risk register, and an AI risk quick-scan of the AI you already use.
  • Terms of reference for your governance forum, and a briefing for your leaders.
