In less than a minute, see when to add the experience and judgment of a senior AI leader to your operating model.
An executive function

Mobilise the organisation
Align sponsors, business teams and technical teams around clear ownership and delivery conditions.
Steward governance
Organise decision gates, follow agreed actions and make decisions legible to the executive committee.
Starting the mandate
