AI GOVERNANCE READINESS
Understand what is actually happening before you decide what needs to change.
Ethos helps boards and executive teams establish where AI is being used, what governance is already in place, where the gaps and exposures are, and which decisions leadership needs to make next.
You cannot govern what you cannot see.
AI use often develops faster than the organisation’s formal view of it. A readiness review establishes what is actually happening, what governance is already in place, where the gaps and exposures are, and which decisions now require leadership attention.
How the readiness review works
A structured review of any and all actual AI use (including shadow AI), existing governance arrangements, gaps and exposure, and the decisions leadership needs to make next.
1. Discover
Establish where and how AI is actually being used across the organisation.
2. Map
Map the governance arrangements already in place, including accountability, policies, decision rights and oversight.
3. Identify
Identify gaps, unclear ownership and material exposure created by the organisation’s current position.
4. Prioritise
Set out the governance decisions and practical actions that require leadership attention.
What you receive
- A clear picture of AI use identified across the organisation
- A summary of existing governance arrangements and accountability
- Identified gaps, uncertainties and areas of exposure
- Prioritised governance decisions and practical next steps
Independence and boundaries
Ethos Advisory is independent of technology vendors and does not sell or implement AI systems. The readiness review draws on available documents, discussions and other relevant information to establish a picture of current AI use and governance arrangements
The review identifies gaps and priorities for leadership attention. It is a diagnostic review, not an independent assurance engagement or a certification of compliance. Management remains responsible for governance decisions and any resulting action.
