DATA & AI GOVERNANCE
Governance tied to value, not paperwork.
Most governance programmes produce policies nobody reads. We start with the data and AI behind your most important decisions, and put clear ownership, trusted data and the right controls around them, so you can scale AI safely.
It covers data governance and AI governance together, because one doesn’t work without the other.
Sound familiar?
“We have policies, but nobody follows them.”
Governance exists on paper, but not in how decisions actually get made.
“Nobody trusts the numbers in the board pack.”
Data quality problems surface late, and nobody owns fixing them.
“We’re adopting AI faster than we can control it.”
Use cases are multiplying with no clear view of risk, accountability or regulation such as the EU AI Act.
What you get
Clear ownership
Named owners and stewards for your critical data and AI systems, with decision rights that are written down and used.
Trusted data
Quality rules, a business glossary and lineage for the data behind your key decisions, with monitoring that flags problems early.
AI under control
An inventory of your AI use cases, classified by risk, with the oversight and controls each one needs.
A plan you can run
A minimum viable governance framework and a 90-day implementation plan, with a governance forum that reports to the right committee.
HOW IT RUNS
Start with value, build only what’s needed
Governance sits in points 9 and 10 of the Data & AI Strategy Canvas: Operating Model & Governance, and Risks & Ethics. We tie every control back to the value it protects.
STEP 1
Find what matters
We identify the data and AI that drive your most important decisions and carry the most risk. That is where governance starts, not with everything at once.
STEP 2
Set the minimum
Ownership, quality rules, risk classification and controls: just enough to make that data and AI trustworthy and compliant, and no more.
STEP 3
Embed and run it
A governance forum, monitoring and training, delivered through a 90-day plan so it becomes how the business works, not a side project.
