Inside the Guide

  • Why you cannot govern what you cannot see, and how to build the inventory
  • Defensible accountability, versus a name on a document
  • How to brief the board without a 60-slide deck
  • Industry sections: healthcare, financial services, and legal
  • A new legal chapter on the records that answer a discovery request

Shadow AI spreads fastest in high-performing teams.

The people most likely to find and use a powerful new tool are your best employees, the ones who are always looking for ways to work smarter. The goal of governance isn’t to slow them down. It’s to build an intake process practical enough that they’ll actually use it, and visible enough that the organization retains accountability for what they adopt.
