Overview
Most organizations that attempt AI governance produce high-level principles or policy statements that never reach operations. The gap between 'we have a policy' and 'the policy changes behavior' is implementation discipline: who reviews what, how exceptions are handled, what triggers escalation, and how governance decisions connect to technical and workflow controls. That gap is where unreviewed AI use cases quietly become production dependencies — and where regulatory exposure accumulates until an audit or incident forces the conversation.
This engagement translates a governance framework into client-specific operating mechanics — intake processes for new AI use cases, review and approval workflows, exception handling and escalation paths, ownership assignments, and the bridge between governance decisions and the technical controls that enforce them. The output is a governance layer that operates, not just one that documents.
