Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is Governance AI?
Governance AI is a specialist consultancy founded by Karl George MBE to help boards and leadership teams navigate the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence. We provide frameworks, diagnostics, and training that transform AI governance from a compliance task into a strategic advantage.
2. Why does AI governance matter for boards and senior leaders?
3. What makes Governance AI different from other AI consultants?
Unlike many technology consultancies, we come from a governance-first perspective. With decades of board-level experience, we focus on equipping leaders to make informed, ethical decisions about AI. Our unique blend of compliance, strategy, and culture means you can embed AI responsibly without losing sight of organisational values.
4. What is the Governance AI Journey?
The Governance AI Journey is our flagship programme, a seven-module roadmap that helps organisations move from awareness to accreditation. It covers AI literacy, readiness diagnostics, governance playbooks, implementation workshops, data and security reviews, and concludes with the Governance AI Quality Mark. Each stage builds maturity and confidence step by step.
5. Who is the Governance AI Journey designed for?
It is designed for boards, executive leadership teams, and senior managers. Whether you are at the start of your AI adoption or scaling AI across departments, the journey equips you with the tools, insights, and guardrails to embed AI responsibly.
6. What is the Governance AI Quality Mark?
The Governance AI Quality Mark is an independent accreditation recognising organisations that demonstrate maturity in AI governance. It validates responsible oversight, builds credibility with regulators and investors, and positions you as a frontrunner in ethical and effective AI adoption.
7. How do you assess AI readiness?
We use our GovernIQ™ Diagnostic, which benchmarks AI maturity across three layers: individual director capability, departmental readiness, and organisational structures. This evidence-based tool highlights gaps, strengths, and priorities, giving you a clear roadmap to build capability at every level.
