Give your business a clear way to use AI responsibly.
Help your people understand which AI uses are appropriate, who makes the decisions and how important outputs are checked. We turn governance questions into practical guidance for the work happening across your business.
Get visibility before writing another policy
AI use can spread through a business one task at a time. Leaders may have limited visibility into the tools being used, the information being entered or the decisions influenced by the output.
We help you establish that picture. A useful starting point is a register of use cases, the people responsible for them and the information and outcomes involved. This gives governance a practical connection to the business.
Match the controls to the use
Drafting an internal outline and influencing an important customer decision call for different levels of review. We help you distinguish uses by their consequences, information requirements and need for human judgement.
The resulting framework can establish what people may do, when approval is required, who reviews the output and how an issue is escalated. Where legal, privacy, security or specialist obligations need interpretation, the work can be coordinated with the relevant advisers.
Create guidance people can use
Governance becomes useful when people can apply it to a real task. The work can produce:
- An AI use-case register and practical risk assessment.
- A policy and acceptable-use guidance suited to the organisation.
- Approval, review and escalation responsibilities.
- A checklist for assessing tools and providers.
- Reporting and review arrangements for management or the board.
Connect policy with the operating workflow
A rule about reviewing AI output needs a reviewer, a standard and a place in the process. A restriction on information needs an understandable boundary. We work through those details with the people who will apply them.
Our application work provides practical context. Mak’s Patch Sales OS includes role-based access and administrator review of candidate knowledge before it enters Maya’s future context. The case illustrates how responsibilities and controls can become part of a working system.
Help leaders ask better questions
Leadership teams need a clear view of the business purpose, the people affected, the evidence of value and the issues requiring a decision. We can help establish reporting that supports those questions and a review rhythm as use cases change.
Training and facilitated discussion can help managers and boards build a shared understanding of the responsibilities involved. Chief Consultant Nardus Oelofse is a qualified Corporate Governance Professional and has lectured at AUT.
Start with the decisions you need to make
You may be approving a new tool, responding to inconsistent use or preparing a wider adoption programme. A focused governance review can identify the gaps that matter to that decision and the practical work needed to address them.
Workshops that can support this work
Questions answered
Do we need a complete AI strategy first?
No. Governance can begin with the uses already happening or a specific application under consideration. That work can then inform a wider adoption plan.
Can you work with our legal, privacy and IT advisers?
Yes. We can coordinate the business framework and operating guidance alongside specialist advice, with clear ownership of the relevant decisions.
Will a policy be enough?
A policy needs to be supported by responsibilities, suitable controls and practical understanding. We can help connect the written guidance with approvals, review processes and training.
Is this a certification service?
The service produces governance advice, working documents and implementation support. If you require an external certification or formal assurance opinion, identify that requirement at the start so the appropriate provider can be involved.
