We help leaders, management teams and knowledge workers operationalise AI responsibly, combining governance, trusted systems and AI-ready leadership into lasting competitive advantage.
The Lead AI is a strategic partner for organisations that run AI, we work alongside you in the day-to-day management of your AI, the way the work actually gets done.
We set up how AI is governed inside ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act — and stay with you to run it. Three things set us apart:
Governance as a continuous capability,
AI governance only works if it keeps running — risks monitored, new use-cases approved under control, suppliers assessed, people trained. We build that operating system and help you run it.
We speak the language of the board and the language of the teams doing the work — and connect the two, so AI decisions are made, owned and tracked all the way through.
The EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001 become concrete, audit-ready obligations your teams can actually meet — not a 100-page document nobody reads.
Start free. Each step builds on the last, so you only ever invest in what moves you forward.
A structured 90-minute session that surfaces your current AI use, governance maturity and most urgent risks — followed by a short, company-specific report on the priorities for your next 12 months.
A 3-week assessment scoring your maturity across six areas, benchmarked against the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001 and your sector regulator — with a 90-day quick-win plan and a gap matrix.
Over 12 weeks we build your full AI Management System to ISO/IEC 42001 — policies, a live AI risk register, AI inventory, supplier-assessment framework and a working AI committee.
Eight connected board-level sessions on the decisions that matter most — from the AI boardroom agenda to AI ROI, crisis, cyber risk and organisation design. The AI agenda, run as a discipline.
A 10-week acceleration that takes a Foundation client to ISO/IEC 42001 certification readiness — evidence vault, Stage 1 & 2 mock audits, non-conformity fixes and on-audit support.
45-minute micro-sessions. Not AI awareness, a decision, oversight and control toolkit for the AI era.
