Services › AI Readiness & Governance

Be ready, and stay in control.

Good technology decisions need a clear view of readiness, clear owners and clear rules. I help you check you’re ready before you take on AI, and set up governance that works day to day.

AI readiness assessment

Are we ready for AI, and what should we fix first?

Why it matters

AI pays off only when people, data and processes are ready for it. A tool bought before staff have the time, training and support to use it often goes unused.

What I do

I assess people, process, technology and data, find high-value use cases, and identify the gaps to close first.

What you get

A readiness profile and a short list of priority actions.

Responsible AI governance

Who is accountable when AI gets it wrong?

Why it matters

AI already arrives inside software you own and tools staff use. A tool does the task but carries no accountability, so someone has to own it on purpose. And AI keeps changing after launch.

What I do

I set principles, rules, owners and a register of AI in use. I match the level of review to the level of risk, and cover AI in daily use, not just at approval, including the AI you buy.

What you get

A practical AI governance framework your staff can follow.

IT governance and intake

How do we decide which projects get resources?

Talk to me about this →

Why it matters

Requests arrive all year, often outside the budget cycle. Without one clear path to decide, good projects overlap and compete for the same people.

What I do

I review how requests come in and get decided, then set up a simple intake process, decision rights and reporting.

What you get

A governance model with clear roles and decision steps.
