An AI Governance Framework That People Actually Follow
Short summary
Three-tier data classification (public, internal, sensitive) paired with five common decision scenarios creates governance that employees actually follow. Fast 24-hour escalation and leadership behavioral modeling trump comprehensive but ignored policies.
- •Three-tier classification lets employees decide quickly: public tools freely, internal with enterprise agreements, sensitive on-premises only
- •Five scenarios (client emails, meeting summaries, market research, proposals, data analysis) cover 80% of real decisions without exhaustive policy
- •Incomplete but followed governance beats comprehensive but ignored—prioritize fast escalation and visible leadership adherence
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
