Most teams are experimenting with AI tools on their own with no visibility, no governance, and no plan. The AI Strategy & Governance Launchpad gives you the foundation to manage AI intentionally, in 90 days.
The Problem
Most organizations aren't deciding whether to adopt AI, it's already happening. Individual teams are using tools leadership doesn't know about, making decisions without guardrails, and creating risks no one has mapped. That's not a technology problem. It's a leadership problem.
🔍
Leadership doesn't know which AI tools are being used, by whom, or for what. Shadow AI is already in your organization whether you've sanctioned it or not.
⚖️
There's no clear process for approving AI use, managing risk, or making decisions about what's acceptable. Every team is making its own rules or no rules at all.
🗺️
AI initiatives are reactive and disconnected. There's no shared vision, no prioritization framework, and no plan for how AI will actually support business goals.
What You'll Achieve
By the end of engagement, your organization will have clarity, structure, and a working system you can actually use. Not a deck. Not a framework in a binder. A real foundation.
A complete inventory of every AI system, tool, and use case across your organization so nothing is flying under the radar.
Define roles, decision workflows, and oversight processes so AI decisions don't fall the cracks.
A practical framework for classifying and mitigating AI risk, aligned with NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001.
Defined goals, priorities, and a strategic direction for AI that aligns with how your business actually operates.
Prioritized AI initiatives with clear next steps so your team knows exactly what to do after the engagement ends.
Stakeholders across your organization will share a clear understanding of your AI direction, ownership, and priorities.
How it works.
Each phase builds on the last. By the end, your organization has everything it needs to manage AI with confidence.
Month 1
We start by mapping everything. Through stakeholder interviews and a structured assessment, we identify every AI tool, system, and use case across your organization, including the ones leadership doesn't know about yet.
End of month: Full AI inventory + Readiness Score
Month 2
With full visibility in hand, we define your AI direction. We align AI initiatives with your business goals, establish your AI vision, and prioritize high-impact use cases based on value and feasibility.
End of month: Custom AI Strategy document
Month 3
We establish how AI decisions are made, managed, and scaled. This includes defining governance structures, decision workflows, roles for oversight, and a practical approach to risk, plus your full 12-month roadmap.
End of month: Governance framework + 12-month roadmap
What makes this different
Strategy without visibility is guesswork. Governance without strategy is paperwork. We do both in the right order.
Most firms jump straight to strategy. We spend the first month mapping what's actually happening across your organization because you can't govern what you can't see.
Our approach aligns with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC 42001, and Responsible AI principles so what you build can stand up to scrutiny.
You don't just get a vision. You get the decision structures and oversight processes that make the vision executable. One without the other doesn't hold up.
Everything we build is designed to be used immediately after the engagement, not shelved until the next budget cycle. Real deliverables. Real next steps.
Who this is
Multiple teams are using AI tools with no central oversight. You need visibility, a clear strategy, and governance structures before things get harder to manage.
You advise clients, manage sensitive data, and operate under scrutiny. AI without governance creates real risk. It's time to get structured.
Faculty and staff are adopting AI faster than policy can keep up. You need a responsible AI framework that balances innovation with institutional accountability.
You're not against AI — you just don't have a clear picture of where it's being used, what it's doing, or who's responsible when something goes wrong.
What you walk away with
Everything is documented, presented, and ready to use. You'll have something to hand your leadership team, your board, and your people.
A complete record of every AI tool and use case across your organization, with an assessment of capabilities, risks, and gaps.
Your AI vision, strategic objectives, and prioritized use cases aligned with your actual business goals, not a generic template.
Defined roles, decision workflows, and oversight processes so your organization knows how AI decisions get made and who's accountable.
A practical framework for classifying AI risk and defining mitigation strategies, aligned with NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001.
Prioritized AI initiatives with clear timelines and next steps, so your team knows exactly what to do when the engagement ends.
A ready-to-present summary of findings, strategy, and recommendations built for your board, leadership team, or key stakeholders.
Ready to Start
If your organization is already using AI without a clear strategy or governance structure, the risk grows every day you wait. Let's spend 30 minutes talking through where you are and whether this engagement is the right fit.
