Maturity Assessment and Action Plan: Often an ideal first step, this evaluation provides a comprehensive analysis of an organization's readiness and practices in Responsible AI (RAI). It identifies gaps in governance—covering people, processes, and playbooks—and offers clear recommendations on what to build, buy, or implement to achieve sustainable RAI integration.

Governance (People, Process, Playbook): Before integrating RAI tools or procedures into existing workflows, companies must first establish strong governance foundations. Our experts examine the key elements including company culture, values, processes, and principles, delivering customized guidance, scorecards, roadmaps, and more. The opposite of an off-the-shelf solution!

Product and Projects Analysis: Through rigorous evaluations of AI products and projects, our experts help partners understand the impact, mitigate risk, ensure compliance, and avoid creating harm and reputational damages.

Training: Tailored courses to equip organizations, executives, managers, and employees with skills and knowledge to effectively integrate RAI practices organizations, fostering a culture of scalable, responsible innovation and growth.

Advisory: From an on-demand, independent AI Ethics Advisory Board to bespoke one-on-one consultations, our RAI practice provides unbiased guidance, supporting responsible AI development and deployment at every stage.
