Map your AI governance the way a board would want to see it.
Generate your action plan to identify your AI governance areas by readiness. This will give you an asset to drop into a leadership memo or board deck.
The questions a sophisticated board will eventually ask.
AI now touches distinct legal and operational areas in most technology companies. Your customized AI action plan will group your company's readiness and action items in three categories that mirror how a board or audit committee would actually think about oversight.
Row 1
AI Use Policy
Written policy distinguishing low-risk and high-risk AI use across the organization.
Approval Authority
A clear owner with documented authority for AI tools and use cases.
Outside Counsel
Engagement with counsel covering AI-specific IP, contracts, policy, and vendor review.
Row 2
AI in Hiring
Hiring tools reviewed for bias, disparate impact, and candidate disclosure.
Content Generation
Workflow specifying allowed tools, attribution, and ownership confirmation.
Vendor Intake
Formal intake addressing training rights, retention, indemnity, and security.
Row 3
Customer Data & AI
Inventory of which tools touch customer data, with documented data flows.
Customer Contracts
Contracts updated to address AI use, output, data, and indemnity.
Board Reporting
Regular reporting on AI use, risks, and governance maturity.
Where does your organization land?
The plan produces both an area-by-area readout and an overall readiness tier based on how many areas have structure in place. The output is sized for a single page in a board deck.
A one page AI thought framework that your team can act on.
