Access to senior support, wherever you need it.

Governance and oversight is one of our most requested areas

Decision rights ›
Decide who owns what
Clarity on who can approve, pause or escalate AI use before ambiguity becomes a resourcing problem.
- Who can approve a new AI use case
- Who owns outcomes when something goes wrong
- Where sign-off sits between teams and leadership
- How decisions escalate once they cross a threshold
- What authority sits with each role
Policy & controls ›
Put the right controls in place
Practical policy that covers how AI is actually used, not a document that sits unread.

- Data handling and confidentiality in AI workflows
- Human review requirements at different risk levels
- Approval gates before go-live
- Keeping policy current as tools change
Risk register ›
Track risk as it actually changes
A live view of where AI creates exposure, not a one-off audit that goes stale.

- Thresholds that trigger escalation
- Who gets notified, and when
- Linking AI risk to existing enterprise risk processes
- Reviewing exposure as use cases scale
Model & vendor risk ›
Understand what you're relying on
Oversight of the models, platforms and vendors your AI use depends on.
- Vendor due diligence and contractual protections
- Model reliability and failure modes
- Data residency and third-party access
- Concentration risk across vendors
- Monitoring vendor and model changes over time
Compliance ›
Stay ahead of what's required
Keep pace with the regulatory and compliance obligations that apply to how you use AI.
- Mapping relevant regulatory obligations

Reporting ›
Report in a way that builds confidence
Reporting that gives your board and leadership team a genuine read on AI risk and progress.

Talk to us about AI Advisory →Choose your preferred engagement format
We do our best to be flexible around the changing needs of your business.
Focused engagement
We can work with you on one or two specific gaps, or deliver a defined piece of work, then step back.
Embedded partnership
Packaged monthly hours where you choose the combination of senior skills you need most.
Office hours
Regular access to senior judgement for leaders who want to stay current, without a larger ongoing engagement.
AI adoption is more than using technology
It involves leadership judgement, workflow design, behaviour change, innovation, risk, governance and technical feasibility. Our team brings those perspectives together.
Direct board experience
We bring director-level judgement, evidence discipline and independent challenge.
UX and process mapping
We map how work and information actually flow, then redesign to optimise it.
Customer experience design
We reveal how customers actually behave, and where friction breaks trust.
Robust implementation
We turn redesigned work into something shipped, adopted and actually used.
Change management
We understand how people and organisations actually respond to change.
Venture exposure
We give you early visibility into future AI business models, to better inform yours.
The value comes from combining these disciplines around the same problem.
