Use the Security Checklist

Leadership AI Checklist

Use this before scaling AI across a team, department, or organization.

  • Start with a business problem, not a tool purchase.
  • Define approved tools, owners, review steps, and prohibited data.
  • Prioritize workflows by value, risk, repeatability, and adoption friction.
  • Measure whether AI improves speed, quality, cost, or decision support.
  • Set governance before scaling high-risk workflows.
  • Keep accountability clear for every AI-assisted decision or output.
Review-first rule: AI can help draft, summarize, organize, compare, and prepare. Accountable leaders should remain responsible for strategy, investment, governance, risk acceptance, customer impact, team adoption, and final decisions.
