AI Governance for Boards: Implementation, Not Theatre
Stop talking about AI. Start using it. Model the behaviour you expect.
The Disconnect
You've probably been in this meeting:
Board Chair: "We need to accelerate our AI adoption. Management, what's the plan?"
Medical Director: "We're running 12 pilots. All progressing well."
Board: [Nods approvingly. Moves to next agenda item.]
Meanwhile:
- That board meeting ran 3 hours
- 10 board members spent 8 hours preparing (reading 200-page board packs)
- Governance team spent 12 hours drafting minutes and tracking actions
- Total: 42 heartbeating hours on activities AI could streamline
The message sent: "AI is important... but not important enough for us to use it ourselves."
This is governance theatre.
Real Governance: Practise What You Preach
Public sector boards are being asked 25 critical questions about AI governance (from guidance issued by KPMG, Institute of Directors, McKinsey, BCG, AICD, and EY).
Most boards can't answer them. Because they've never actually used AI themselves.

How the Transformation Trilogy Enables Governance
We don't do "AI governance consulting." We help you implement AI in ways that inherently improve governance.
1. Insight Genie: Organisational Diagnostics
What it actually does:
- Collects stakeholder insights through structured surveys (1-2 weeks)
- Analyses workforce patterns, communication flows, decision-making bottlenecks
- Delivers 30-50 page diagnostic report identifying specific friction points
- Reveals where your organisation is heartbeating (consuming capacity without creating value)
Implementation outcome:
- Average £2.4M in addressable waste identified
- 2-4 week engagement (not months of consulting)
- Specific, actionable recommendations you can implement immediately
Governance benefit:
- Demonstrates data-driven decision-making
- Shows you're serious about understanding organisational friction
- Models the diagnostic rigour you expect organisation-wide
Real example:
NHS Trust used Insight Genie to diagnose why their quality improvement initiatives kept stalling. The diagnostic revealed that 67% of clinical leads reported spending more time in meetings about improvement than actually improving. Board redirected 40% of meeting time to implementation support. Improvement initiatives accelerated.

What it does:
- Facilitates 1-day strategy workshops (vs 6-month processes)
- AI-powered synthesis of multi-stakeholder perspectives
- Real-time collaboration with 10-15 key stakeholders
- Produces co-created strategy with genuine ownership
Implementation outcome:
- Strategy developed in 1 day, not 6 months
- 87% implementation rate (vs 20% for traditional consulting)
- All stakeholders have genuine input (not token consultation)
Governance benefit:
- Demonstrates how AI enables inclusive decision-making
- Shows AI can handle complexity (ethics, competing priorities)
- Proves you can move fast without sacrificing rigour
Real example:
Multi-Academy Trust used Dynamic Genie to develop their 5-year strategic plan. One day workshop with 12 stakeholders (teachers, parents, governors, pupils, ICT leads). AI facilitated discussion, synthesised perspectives, identified consensus and tensions. Produced strategic plan board approved immediately (normally 6-month process).

What it actually does:
- Professional service delivered by Fit to Care specialists
- Expert data capture during your most critical meetings
- AI-powered analysis from approved knowledge bases (your documents and data)
- Two options: Rapid analysis (£250/meeting) or Live intelligence (£500-£1,500/meeting)
Implementation outcome:
- Decisions made with complete information (no "we'll look into that and report back")
- No need for endless follow-up meetings
- Implementation moves forward faster
- Reclaim 40% of leadership time
Governance benefit:
- Demonstrates AI can enhance (not weaken) accountability
- Shows you value leadership time for strategic work, not admin
- Models the decision-support you expect organisation-wide
Real example:
NHS board was discussing new digital health platform. Question arose: "What did our patient engagement say about digital preferences?" Normally would defer to next meeting. With Meeting Genie's live intelligence, answer retrieved from approved knowledge base within 2 minutes. Decision made same meeting. Implementation accelerated by 6 weeks.
Discover Meeting Genie →The Meta-Point
You can't credibly govern AI if you don't understand it.
You can't understand it without using it.
You can't use it effectively without implementation support.
That's where we come in. Not as "AI governance consultants." As implementation partners who help you use AI tools that inherently improve governance.
The best governance isn't theoretical frameworks. It's demonstrated behaviour.
Model what you expect. Use the tools. Lead by example.
