This month's newsletter features five essential articles for boards navigating AI governance. I begin with a keystone piece that integrates my three core mechanisms - the AI Stages of Adoption (AISA), the Five Pillars of AI capability, and the Well-Advised value priorities - providing a complete framework for understanding AI's unique multi-speed adoption patterns.
Following this foundational framework, I'm sharing the first four articles in my eight-part AI Centre of Excellence (AI CoE) series. These initial articles establish why boards need an AI CoE, explore the eighteen essential functions that drive AI success, demonstrate how to assess your organisation's multi-speed AI reality, and provide practical guidance on designing governance structures that work across different stages of AI maturity.
Together, these five articles move from strategic framework to practical implementation, offering boards and executives actionable guidance for establishing AI governance that balances innovation with control. The AI CoE series will continue over the coming weeks, building toward a complete roadmap for AI governance excellence.
As you explore these articles, I encourage you to try the AI CoE Simulator tool I've recently launched on my website. This practical assessment tool, which I demonstrate in the third article, helps boards understand their organisation's true AI maturity across different functions. It's freely available and provides immediate, actionable insights into your multi-speed AI reality - essential context for any AI governance initiative.
Whether you're seeking to understand AI's strategic landscape or ready to implement formal governance structures, these articles provide frameworks and tools tested with organisations worldwide. I hope you find them valuable as you navigate the complex challenge of responsible AI adoption.
