Governance

0.48Adaptability average

A governance operating model is a structured, cross-functional framework that integrates oversight into every stage of the AI lifecycle. IBM moves it beyond high-level principles by establishing clear roles and responsibilities, such as a dedicated council, to enforce ethics standards, manage risk and ensure compliance. By embedding specialised controls for fairness, transparency and resilience directly into the operational workflow, the model provides a scalable, repeatable playbook that keeps AI initiatives consistently aligned with both regulatory requirements and organisational values across the business.
