Build the policies, decision rights, risk controls, and board oversight structures your organisation needs to deploy AI with confidence. Designed for Australian boards and executive teams operating under real regulatory and accountability obligations. Independent of any AI vendor or platform.
The problem we solve
AI is being deployed faster than governance frameworks can keep pace. Organisations face increasing exposure — from regulatory obligation, reputational risk, and board accountability — but most lack the policies, accountability structures, and oversight mechanisms to manage that exposure responsibly.
AI Governance Framework Design
Develop AI governance policies, standards, decision rights and accountability structures tailored to your organisation's risk profile, regulatory obligations and AI maturity. Built on the APIG governance framework — framework-based, not improvised.
AI Risk Register and Controls
Identify, assess and control AI risks across use cases, data, model, operational and reputational dimensions. AI risk register design, approved-tools list with usage conditions, and ongoing risk monitoring protocols.
Regulatory Compliance and Board Reporting
Navigate the Australian Privacy Act, emerging AI regulation, APRA guidance on model risk, and sector-specific AI compliance requirements. Board-ready AI assurance reporting template included.

The APIG method on this engagement
For AI governance, APIG helps ensure that policies and controls are connected to real workflows and adoption patterns, not sitting separately as documentation that does not reflect how AI is actually used.
Actors: Who is responsible for AI decisions, who has oversight authority, and how accountability is distributed across the organisation
Practices: How governance reviews, policy decisions, escalations, and assurance routines are structured and maintained
Infrastructure: What risk registers, model inventories, reporting tools, and governance systems the function relies on
Governance: How AI use is approved, monitored, and reported — and what happens when something goes wrong
Frequently Asked Questions
What does AI governance consulting cover?
AI governance consulting covers AI policy design, decision rights and accountability structures, risk registers and controls, AI inventory management, and board reporting. It ensures organisations can deploy AI with confidence rather than expose themselves to unmanaged risk.
How long does an AI governance engagement take?
A core governance build typically takes 6–8 weeks. This covers the AI policy framework, accountability structures, risk register, approved-use controls, and a board-ready assurance reporting template. Ongoing governance support is available through our Managed AI Governance Office service.
Why choose Strategen AI for governance consulting?
Strategen AI is vendor-independent. We can recommend governance controls that constrain or reject specific tools — something vendor-affiliated advisers cannot do. Our governance frameworks are built on the APIG model, which connects policy to real workflow adoption patterns.
How does AI governance stay current as adoption evolves?
Governance frameworks built once and never maintained decay within months as adoption accelerates. We offer a Managed AI Governance Office service for ongoing oversight — use-case intake reviews, policy updates, risk register maintenance, and quarterly board reporting — on a recurring basis.
