Phase 1 · Weeks 1–2

Start with education, not tools.

Before your company touches a single AI product, leadership and employees need a shared vocabulary, realistic expectations, and an honest picture of what AI is — and isn't.

What leadership must understand

  • AI models can confidently produce wrong answers
  • Inputs to AI tools may train future models, depending on vendor terms
  • AI amplifies the quality of your people's thinking — it doesn't replace it
  • Governance is a competitive advantage, not a compliance tax
  • Liability for AI misuse sits with your company, not the vendor

What every employee must understand

  • What data is safe to input — and what is never appropriate
  • AI outputs must be reviewed before use in any deliverable
  • Using personal AI accounts for work tasks is a policy violation
  • AI can encode biases; human judgment is the final check
  • How and where to report concerns about AI behavior

The four sessions to run.

A staged sequence that takes about two weeks of elapsed time and roughly one combined day of staff time per leader. Run all four — skipping any one of them leaves a vacuum that bad habits form in.

  • Executive briefing — 1 hourCEO, COO, CTO, Legal, HR in one room. Cover the AI landscape, business opportunity, liability exposure, and rationale for governance.
  • Department manager training — half dayManagers learn AI fundamentals, use cases for their function, and how to field questions from their teams.
  • All-hands AI literacy session — 2 hoursCompany-wide: what AI tools exist, how they work, what data they use, and what the company's initial stance is while policy is being written.
  • Interim acceptable-use memo — 1 pageA short memo that gives employees guardrails before formal policy is complete. Prevents a vacuum where bad habits form.
