The KNOW: AI Enablement Lab

Build the structure your organization needs to manage AI responsibly without slowing the business

The KNOW AI: Enablement Lab™ is a premium consulting engagement where your cross-functional leadership team builds a functional AI committee, defines decision rights, and creates a practical operating framework for AI use across the business.

This is not a training class.
This is not a policy-writing service.

It is structured working time for leaders who need real decisions, usable artifacts, and a committee that can keep pace as AI use grows and the landscape continues to change.

Most organizations are already using AI. The problem is that much of that activity is fragmented, informal, and largely invisible to the people accountable for risk, compliance, and outcomes.

The Business Impact is Real

How much a data breach costs.

According to a 2025 IBM report:

  • The average global cost of a data breach reached $4.88 million in 2024.

  • In financial services, the average breach cost was about $6 million.

  • In healthcare, it reached $10.93 million.

  • Only 24% of generative AI initiatives are currently secured.

What Is Happening in Many Organizations

Teams are already using AI tools across departments, but leadership often lacks a consistent structure for how that use is surfaced, reviewed, or guided over time.

That often looks like:

  • teams adopting AI tools without a consistent intake or approval path

  • different departments operating under different informal rules

  • sensitive data processed through third-party tools without adequate review

  • unclear accountability for AI use case ownership

  • incomplete visibility for risk, compliance, and executive leaders

  • no formal mechanism for escalation when concerns surface

About The Engagement

The KNOW AI: Enablement Lab™ is a premium consulting engagement for organizations that need a practical way to guide AI use across the business.

This is not a training class.
This is not a policy writing service.

It is structured working time for cross-functional leaders who need clearer ownership, stronger oversight, and a more consistent approach to AI use, review, and management over time.

Without that structure, organizations may end up with:

  • AI use is happening without clear visibility

  • uneven decisions across departments

  • inconsistencies in handling of sensitive data

  • unclear accountability when concerns surface

  • slower responses when leadership needs answers quickly

The Lab helps your team move from informal activities and scattered decisions to a more structured, usable approach.

The KNOW AI: Enablement Lab™ sits within the KNOWecosystem™ and is guided by the KNOW Leadership Framework™, with professional references informing the work as practical inputs for decision making.

The organizations in the strongest position will be those that proactively built a foundation. Not the ones that waited for pressure to force action.

What Your Organization Leaves With

By the end of the engagement, your organization leaves with:

  • a stronger internal structure for AI oversight

  • clearer decision-making roles and accountability

  • practical working guidance shaped for your organization

  • increased alignment across key functions

  • momentum for continued action after the engagement

What This Is and Is Not

This Engagement Is:

  • a premium consulting engagement

  • a structured working process for leadership teams

  • focused on practical decisions and internal alignment

  • designed to help organizations build a usable approach to AI oversight

This Engagement Is Not:

  • a training course

  • a policy writing service

  • a technical implementation project

  • a one-size-fits-all template exercise

Who This Lab Is For

This engagement is a strong fit for organizations that want a more structured approach to AI use across the business.

It is especially relevant where:

  • AI use is already happening across teams

  • leaders want clearer ownership and visibility

  • expectations for responsible use need to be strengthened

  • cross-functional coordination matters

  • leadership wants to act before problems force the issue

Most organizations this is designed for have 200+ employees or $50M+ in annual revenue, but the better qualifier is consequence, not size.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. The KNOW AI Enablement Lab is a consulting engagement built around milestones, working sessions, and decisions your team makes together. You leave each milestone with something built, not something learned.

  • No. The engagement may inform future internal documentation, but the focus is on helping your organization build structure, ownership, and a practical oversight approach.

  • Your organization leaves with stronger structure, clearer ownership, and practical materials developed during the engagement to support continued progress. Specific outputs are covered during the fit call.

  • The best next step is to book a call. That conversation helps determine whether your organization is ready for the Lab or whether another starting point makes more sense. Your plan frames that next step as a focused sponsor level conversation.

  • If you are not sure whether your organization is the right fit, book a call. We can talk through your current situation, assess fit, and discuss whether the KNOW AI Enablement Lab™ or another type of support makes the most sense.

  • It depends on where your organization is starting. Organizations refining or optimizing an existing governance structure typically complete the engagement in four to eight weeks. Organizations building from the ground up should expect a more intensive milestone-based engagement spanning three to six months.

  • That is exactly what this engagement builds. Most organizations that start the KNOW AI Enablement Lab do not have a formal committee in place. The engagement identifies the right people, defines their roles, and stands up an operating structure they can sustain long after the engagement ends.

This is a good next step for leaders who want an initial read before having a conversation.

Build the Structure Your Organization Needs to Stay Ahead of AI

If AI is already showing up across your organization, the risk is not just adoption without policy. The bigger risk is adoption without structure.

That is where leadership loses visibility, decisions become uneven, and issues take longer to surface and resolve.

The KNOW AI Enablement Lab™ helps leadership teams put a practical structure in place so AI use can be guided with stronger ownership, better oversight, and more consistent decisions.
