AI Governance Fluency for Boards and Executives

Most AI literacy programmes for boards teach the technology. This one teaches the accountability.

There is a difference between understanding what AI can do and being able to evidence that your organisation is governing it properly. Most boards have the first conversation. Very few are ready for the second.

Full-day workshop or 4 sessions
DURATION
6.5 hours taught + 1 hour assessment
PARTICIPANTS
Maximum 20 per cohort
DELIVERY
In-person or hybrid, sector-tailored

"If a regulator asked, right now, to see evidence that a specific AI system in your organisation is being governed appropriately , could you demonstrate it? Not describe. Not reference a policy. Demonstrate."
