AI Governance & Responsible Use Policy

What it is: Staff- and Board-ready AI governance [who, when]: acceptable-use policy [what], values and risk assessment process [why/why not], staff input and training, and clear decision rights for considering, adopting, and monitoring AI tools responsibly.

What you get: A governance structure fit to your organization’s use cases and risk tolerance (not a generic template), input and buy-in, a rollout and training plan, and ongoing advisory as tools and regulation shift.

Good fit if: 

• there’s an AI policy but it’s unclear how to implement or how monitoring is going to work or how it relates to organizational values
• leadership keeps getting asked “what’s our AI policy?” and doesn’t have a confident answer yet
• the values of the organization say “No AI!” but the culture may not be keeping pace and confusion is mounting

Innovation Facilitation

What it is: Design and facilitation of outcome-led workshops for internal change initiatives or service or product development

What you get: A tailored series of working sessions in which the team goes through a proven adaptive experimentation process and identifies the part of the problem to solve, tests solutions, and shapes the delivery approach

Good fit if: 

• There’s a business need to change a service, product, or internal way of working but disagreement on direction or impact have stalled getting started
• There’s a dedicated team who can put some FTE to the project over 1-3 months

Team & Leader Coaching

What it is:  1:1 or small-group coaching for leaders and teams navigating change, like a new AI initiative, organization direction change, a reorg, a leadership transition, et al.

What you get: A steady and experienced thinking partner, practical frameworks for deciding under uncertainty, and space to work through the human side of change.

Good fit if: the hard part of your next initiative is people, not process.

Organizational Governance

What it is: Design of the decision structures that get distributed across people and teams, with inclusion from all involved.

What you get: Facilitated sessions (remote or in-person), service blueprints or journey maps where useful, documented structure for decisions, and a format your org can run with.

Good fit if: 

• Your team has a horizontal, democratic, or self-organizing structure
• Passionate people disagree productively and need a way to get from many priorities to workable, adaptive plans.
• It’s been more than two years and you’ve hired or had a program or business change since the last governance document was created.

Practical Money Conversations

What it is: A facilitated session or series in which a team or cohort explore a targeted issue – business budget, arts grants, funding a project – and explore money relationship, class, systemic issues, and unstick decisions that need to get made.

What you get: Facilitated sessions (remote or in-person), visual aids, a trained guide who has lead over 1000 money conversations, and a decision + a framework for future decisions.

Good fit if: 

• Your team has diverse socioeconomic class experiences and these are interfering with moving work forward
• You have a cohort you need to get on the same page about finances
• You have a project that will be funded by one group member, but the group wants to define their scope of decisions together
