Background
The client saw real value in AI tools, but adoption was moving faster than governance. Teams needed clarity on what could be used, what data was allowed, who approved use cases, and how risk would be managed.
The goal was not to slow AI down. It was to make AI adoption credible enough for business teams, IT, security, and leadership to support it together.
The task
Create an AI governance playbook covering approved use cases, risk categories, policy guardrails, ownership, training, and adoption metrics.
The solution
AI use cases were grouped by business value and risk, making it easier to approve low-risk productivity uses while applying stronger controls to sensitive workflows.
Policy guardrails covered data handling, human review, vendor assessment, prompt safety, output validation, and accountability for decisions supported by AI.
An adoption model defined training, champions, governance forums, metrics, and a backlog process for moving useful ideas from experimentation into controlled production use.
Creating practical AI governance
Classify use cases, define guardrails, and give the organisation a repeatable model for adopting AI safely.
