AI governance and organizational architecture for mid-sized companies

Know what you answer for.

In one year, you and I sort out decision rights, checks and rules for working with AI, and you put them on record in an organizational constitution.

Every organization has two versions of itself. One is in the org chart, the approval rules and the reports that travel upward. The other is where decisions actually get made, by whom, with how much time, and on what basis. Most of the trouble lives in the gap between the two.

I work on that gap, and AI has made it wider. Many programs now draft, rank or sort without anyone having decided that they should, and your executive team still answers for the result. I help you settle who decides, who checks and what applies when things get difficult. I work as an independent advisor: I prepare and facilitate, and you decide.

Online, in English, for leadership teams anywhere. On-site work I offer in German-speaking countries only.

Four ways in

Read. My book Cheap to Make, Costly to Check follows one contract award through a mid-sized manufacturer and asks who owns the checking that AI leaves behind. The books →

AI Impact Simulation

What AI shifts in your industry

The free simulation shows in four questions how AI shifts work and decisions in a company in your industry, stage by stage, and where to start.

A second view shows what shifts for your managers: how much time reviews and sign-offs take, and which paths take load off your team leads.

About three minutes, no sign-up. You can download the result as a PDF.

Work with me. The annual mandate sets up your organizational constitution for working with AI in twelve months. The Checking Load Assessment and the Management Baseline are shorter ways in. The work →


What people usually ask first

Do you only work on AI? No. AI is the current reason the question has become urgent. The question itself, who decides and whether they can, is older, and most of my work on it predates the current wave.

Why online only? Because the analysis runs on data and on conversations with the people who decide, and both work well by video. What does not work at a distance is facilitating a large workshop in a room. I offer that in German only.

When should I ask someone else? For choosing AI tools, for training people to use them and for legal questions, I am happy to name people with more specialist expertise than mine. Where I help is in bringing your organization as a whole, and its use of AI, into step.

Who do you work with? Owners and leadership teams of organizations between roughly forty and six hundred people, boards and advisory boards, and occasionally the people inside larger companies who have to make a new rule work.
