AI Strategy, Readiness & Governance

Decide where AI fits. Prove you're ready. Put guardrails in place before AI becomes a brand risk.

Genesys helps leadership teams move from scattered pilots to scaled, responsible AI with a clear strategy, a readiness scorecard, and an operating governance system including policies, controls, monitoring, and accountability.

The Moment This Becomes Non-Optional

AI becomes non-optional the moment you need to ship it to real users, and be accountable for outcomes. Most teams hit this wall:

Pilot sprawl, unclear ROI

Too many use cases, no portfolio prioritization or success metrics, so spend rises without proof.

Production gap

Pilots "work," but data readiness, evaluation standards, and ownership aren't in place, so they stall before rollout.

Late-stage governance bottleneck

Security/legal shows up after build, causing rework and release slowdowns instead of predictable ship rules.

Trust breaks on the first incident

One leakage/unsafe output/drift event undermines adoption, because monitoring, escalation, and rollback paths weren't defined up front.

We prevent that by turning AI into a governed capability, not a set of experiments.

// who this is for

Who This Is For

Best fit when:

Leadership teams with multiple AI initiatives and no shared "rulebook"

Product orgs shipping LLM/ML features and needing safety, monitoring, and accountability

Companies under compliance pressure (or preparing for it) that want velocity without chaos

Not a fit if:

You want an AI strategy slide deck without operational controls

The Outcomes We Offer

You're not buying decks. You're buying operating clarity.

Risk-based shipping rules so teams move faster

Reduced security and misuse exposure for LLM features

Ongoing monitoring that prevents "surprise failures"

// what we deliver

What We Deliver

Transform your governance as an operating system, aligned to NIST AI RMF-style risk management and ISO/IEC 42001 AI management system thinking. You can run our three deliverable packs internally, built around recognized governance patterns.

1

AI Strategy — The "Where to Play"

Use-case sourcing + ROI/feasibility scoring.

  • Executive alignment on success metrics and guardrails
  • 90-day and 12-month roadmap with ownership and milestones
2

AI Readiness — The "Can We Execute?"

Assessment across the key pillars — strategy, governance/security, data foundations, infrastructure, culture, model management.

  • Data and platform readiness review — quality, access, lineage, security
  • Team capability map — skills, gaps, operating model
3

AI Governance — The "How We Stay Safe"

AI risk tiers + control matrix — what must be true before shipping.

  • Policies for privacy, transparency, human oversight, and incident response
  • Monitoring requirements — drift, bias, performance, security with escalation paths
  • Documentation standards — model cards, data lineage, approvals

// our delivery path

Our Delivery Path

A practical sequence that turns "governance" into enforced behavior fast.

#1 Prioritize the AI Portfolio

Pick the few use cases worth funding and define what "success" means (ROI + reliability + risk).

Output:

Prioritized use-case slate + success metrics + assumptions.

#2 Score Readiness Against Real Shipping Requirements

Identify what will break execution: data quality, access boundaries, evaluation gaps, monitoring, team ownership.

Output:

Readiness scorecard + fix-first plan.

#3 Define Risk Tiers and "Ship Rules"

Implement tier-based controls so teams know what's required before launch (reviews, testing, monitoring, approvals).

Output:

Risk tiers + control matrix + approval workflow.

#4 Apply Governance to One Live Use Case

Attach the rules to a real pilot so it becomes repeatable, not theoretical.

Output:

Governed pilot plan + monitoring spec + rollout/rollback rules.

#5 Establish Continuous Oversight

Define how you detect drift, handle incidents, and update controls as usage grows.

Output:

Ongoing review cadence + incident playbooks + change management loop.

// what governance means in practice

What "Governance" Means in Practice

Governance is not a committee. It's a set of enforced behaviors teams follow automatically.

01.

Risk Tiers & Ship Rules

Every AI feature classified (low/medium/high risk) with clear controls before launch.

02.

Data Boundaries & Privacy Controls

What data AI can access, redaction, retention, access logging.

03.

Security Against Misuse

Prompt injection, unsafe tool access, input/output validation, least-privilege.

04.

Quality Gates & Evaluation

Pre-launch tests, acceptance thresholds so features don't ship on "demo quality."

05.

Monitoring, Drift & Alerts

Track quality, latency, cost with drift detection and escalation paths.

06.

Accountability & Audit Trail

Named owners, approval workflow, decision logs, model/system notes.

FAQs

Answers to the most common pre-engagement questions.

Yes, experiments turn into customer-facing features fast. The earlier you define risk tiers and monitoring expectations, the less painful scale becomes.

If AI is already on your roadmap, the question isn't "should we use it?" It's "can we ship it safely and repeatedly?"
