AI governance

AI governance for owner-led and midmarket companies

Most companies with 20 to 200 employees already have AI in the building: in the tools staff use, in software that quietly added AI features, and in what people paste into chat windows. AI governance at your size doesn’t mean a committee. It means knowing what’s in use, what could go wrong, and what the rules are, written in plain English your team will actually follow.

Your team is already using AI, policy or not.

Governance sized for a business your size.

All of this is part of the Decision Intensive, delivered as a fixed-scope engagement.

No 40-page framework. No retainer.

You won’t get a governance committee charter, an ongoing retainer, or software to buy. You’ll get the rules and the plan your business actually needs, and you can hand them to your team on day one.

From the AI Decision Report.

I write a weekly column on what AI news means for owner-led and midmarket businesses. A recent one on risk: While Washington Argues About AI Rules, Your Website Copy Could Become Evidence.

I also give a talk for chambers and associations, AI risk and policy basics, on what every small business needs in place before AI becomes a liability.

Common questions

Yes, but it should fit on a few pages. At 30 people, a short, clear policy on which tools are approved and what information never goes into them prevents most of the problems that come up.

Usually the owner or a senior leader, with input from whoever handles IT and operations. It doesn’t need a new hire. It needs one person accountable for the policy and the plan.

Review it at least twice a year, and any time you add a major tool or a vendor adds AI features to software you rely on. The 90-day plan builds in the first review.

Let’s talk about the AI decisions in front of your business.
