AI Operating Model & Governance

Set up the minimum governance and operating rhythm to deliver AI safely, repeatedly, and at speed.

⏱️ 2–4 weeks 🎯 Best for: organisations scaling beyond ad-hoc pilots

Outcomes

  • Clear roles and decision rights for AI delivery
  • Risk classification and controls aligned to your context
  • Reusable templates and standards for evaluation and documentation
  • A governance approach that enables delivery—not blocks it

What you get

  • AI operating model (RACI, decision forums, escalation paths)
  • Risk classification and control library (practical, lightweight)
  • Evaluation standards (metrics, sign-off criteria, red-teaming where needed)
  • Data/Model/Prompt documentation templates and checklists
  • Change & enablement plan for teams (training, comms, adoption)

How it works

Clear phases, short cycles, and documentation that your team can keep using after the engagement.

Available in workshop-led, hybrid, or async-first formats depending on leadership availability.

Delivery steps

1. Current state

Map how AI decisions are made today and where risk accumulates.

2. Design the operating model

Define roles, ownership, and how product, data, IT, and legal collaborate.

3. Governance primitives

Introduce a small set of controls: classification, evaluation, monitoring, and audit trails.

4. Templates & playbooks

Create repeatable artefacts: one-pagers, checklists, and decision logs.

5. Rollout

Pilot the operating model on one initiative and adjust with feedback.

6. Executive alignment

Confirm the model supports speed, accountability, and compliance expectations.

FAQ

Will this slow teams down?

It should do the opposite. Good governance removes ambiguity, reduces rework, and speeds up decisions.

Do you cover EU AI Act considerations?

Yes—at a practical level: risk classification, documentation, evaluation, and accountability.

Can you tailor this to our industry?

Yes. The model is adapted to your risk appetite, sector constraints, and delivery capability.
