AI Governance & Adoption Review

Scale AI adoption without losing control.

Artificial intelligence is entering product, engineering, and operations faster than the processes needed to govern it.

Identify which AI systems your organization is actually using, where risks exist, and what to prioritize to increase adoption in a safe, traceable, and operable way.

The context

AI adoption often moves faster than its governance.

A single organization may have employee tools, AI capabilities built into products, agents with system access, and automations created by different teams.

  • ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot used by employees.
  • SaaS tools that include AI.
  • Models, APIs, RAG, and internal assistants.
  • Agents able to query data or take action.
  • Vendors processing corporate information.

Without a cross-functional view, leadership and Technology may not know:

  • What AI exists, who owns it, and what data it uses.
  • Which permissions it has and which vendors are involved.
  • What decisions or actions it can execute.
  • Which controls exist and which opportunities have the strongest ROI.

The goal is not to slow AI down. It is to use more AI with greater visibility and control.

Who it is for

Designed for organizations already using AI.

  • Already use generative AI internally.
  • Are rolling out Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or other tools.
  • Are adding AI to products or developing agents.
  • Allow AI to access business data.
  • Work with confidential information or personal data.
  • Are moving from isolated experiments to broad adoption.
  • Want to increase adoption without unnecessary bureaucracy.

The assessment

A cross-functional view of how the organization uses AI.

Governance & Ownership

Responsibilities, policies, approvals, and decision-making.

AI Inventory

Tools, models, vendors, integrations, and use cases.

Data & Privacy

Data, confidentiality, privacy, intellectual property, and flows.

Security & Architecture

Identity, permissions, logging, RAG, agents, and system access.

Human Oversight & Quality

Supervision, quality, reliability, transparency, and boundaries.

Vendors & Models

Models, vendors, dependencies, contracts, and third parties.

AI Literacy & Adoption

Training, approved tools, and responsible use.

Monitoring & Operations

Monitoring, incidents, change, and lifecycle.

The process

From the current state to an actionable roadmap.

01

Discovery

We understand strategy, main use cases, and the technology context.

02

Interviews

We speak with Technology, Security, Legal/DPO, leadership, and business stakeholders where relevant.

03

Assessment

We assess the organization using a structured framework.

04

Findings

We identify risks, gaps, opportunities, and quick wins.

05

Executive Roadmap

We turn findings into priorities for the next 90 days.

Deliverables

What you get.

01

AI Inventory

Initial map of AI systems, tools, and use cases.

02

AI Governance Score

Structured view of maturity by area. It is not a certification.

03

Critical Risk Assessment

Situations requiring priority attention.

04

Top Findings

Main risks, gaps, and pending decisions.

05

Opportunity Map

Opportunities for productivity, automation, and new capabilities.

06

Quick Wins

Actions that can be implemented quickly.

07

90-Day Roadmap

Priorities, owners, and recommended sequence.

08

Executive Review

Session to present conclusions and decide next steps.

The difference

Governance without separating technology from the business.

AI Governance should not be treated only as a legal or documentation exercise. The main risks and opportunities sit at the intersection of architecture, data, product, engineering, security, vendors, and the business.

The Review is approached from a CTO perspective: understanding both how systems are built and operated and the business context in which they need to create value.

Technology + Product + Risk + Business

Risk and adoption

Control risk and find opportunities.

Governance

  • Shadow AI and sensitive data.
  • Agents, permissions, and traceability.
  • Vendors, security, and accountability.
  • Human oversight.

Adoption

  • Automation and productivity.
  • New workflows and better processes.
  • AI-enabled products and cost reduction.
  • New capabilities and execution speed.

Governance should not become a brake on adoption. It should be the infrastructure that lets it scale.

What comes next

From assessment to execution.

01

AI Governance & Adoption Review

Understand the current state and set priorities.

02

Implementation

Implement policies, workflows, architecture, controls, and technical solutions.

03

Strategic Technology Advisory

Support technology, architecture, product, and AI evolution over time.

Scope

A technology review, not a legal certification.

The assessment can help structure requirements related to governance, privacy, security, or applicable regulation.

The Review is not a legal or regulatory certification. Where needed, specific matters should be validated with the relevant legal or data protection owners.
