AI Governance Basics

What your organization needs to know before AI makes a decision for you. Three questions, plainly answered, that most organizations haven't asked yet — what's encouraged, what needs approval, and what's off limits.

The problem

Nearly half of organizations have no AI policy at all

What you'll walk away with

A plain-language governance starting point, not a legal document

01

The 3-question framework

What's encouraged, what needs approval first, and what's off limits — the fastest way to get a shared answer across your team.

02

A plain-inventory starting exercise

How to find out what AI tools and shadow builds are already running in your organization, before writing a single policy line.

03

Starter policy language

Sentences you can adapt directly for your own org, not a template that needs a lawyer to translate.

04

A one-page board/leadership brief

So you can bring this back and actually start the conversation with decision-makers.

The session

60 minutes, start to finish

Why governance keeps getting postponed

And why waiting for the "right time" makes the eventual policy harder to write, not easier.

The 3-question framework, live

Walking through real examples of what falls into each bucket.

Your plain inventory

A structured exercise to surface what's already running in your organization.

Drafting starter language

Turning your answers into the first real draft of a policy.

Questions

Bring your organization's specific gray areas.

Is this for you

This is for you if

  • You're an ED, ops lead, or manager responsible for how your team uses AI
  • Your organization has no AI policy, or one that predates agentic tools
  • You want a plain-language starting point, not legal boilerplate

Skip it if

  • You already have a current, board-approved AI governance policy
  • You need a custom, implemented framework — see the Agentic Governance Framework instead
  • You're looking for personal AI productivity tips, not policy
Your instructor

Lara Jackson, CFRE

Founder of Aligned-AI, and creator of the Agentic Governance Framework — a policy standard built specifically for the gap this workshop covers. Ten years in the nonprofit sector, over $10M raised, brings a practitioner's read on what governance actually needs to accomplish.

Questions

Do we need a lawyer in the room?

No — this session gives you a plain-language starting point, not a compliance document.

Is this specific to nonprofits?

The framework applies to any workplace, though examples lean nonprofit given the instructor's background.

What if we need more than a starting point?

This session is the on-ramp — organizations that need a fully built, implemented policy can move to the Agentic Governance Framework afterward.
