This eBook is a practical companion to an AI governance maturity model, designed to help organisations assess, benchmark, and improve how they govern AI. Rather than focusing on theory, it provides a structured, step-by-step toolkit that guides leadership teams through diagnosing their current maturity across seven key domains—such as risk management, data governance, and board oversight—and identifying where gaps exist. The emphasis is on honesty and accuracy in assessment, ensuring organisations understand their real, not aspirational, governance position.
It then moves from diagnosis to action, helping organisations prioritise gaps and translate them into a clear, time-bound roadmap for improvement. Through maturity level profiles and detailed worksheets, the toolkit shows what “good” looks like at each stage—from ad hoc governance to industry-leading practices—and outlines the concrete steps needed to progress. Ultimately, the eBook positions strong AI governance not just as a compliance exercise, but as a strategic capability that can build trust, reduce risk, and become a competitive advantage when implemented effectively.
