AI Governance Services
The Burks AI Governance Model™
AI is Deployed. Accountability Isn’t
Most organizations — from enterprise to emerging — are running AI tools without the governance infrastructure to match. The exposure is already there.
This isn’t a technology problem. It’s a decision rights problem. And it affects every type of leader differently.
— No documented owner of AI model performance or failure
— No decision rights defining who can approve deployment
— Legal and HR flagging risk with no framework to respond
— Board and investors asking questions leadership can’t answer
— Regulatory requirements evolving faster than internal policy
— AI bias and drift going unmonitored in production
— Small businesses using AI with no data or liability boundaries
Who this Serves
Three Leaders. One Governance Standard
-
You’ve approved AI tools. You’ve heard assurances from the tech team. But when the board asks who owns governance — the room goes quiet.
The Burks AI Governance Model™ gives you board-ready architecture with decision rights mapped to executive roles.
-
AI is reshaping hiring, performance, and workforce planning. You know the equity and compliance risks — but you don’t have a governance framework to bring to the table.
This model was built by a People strategist. Workforce impact, bias monitoring, and human accountability are embedded from Layer 1.
-
You’re using AI tools to compete. But you haven’t thought through data ownership, client liability, or what happens when an automated decision goes wrong.
Governance isn’t only for enterprises. The Audit tier was designed to give growing businesses a defensible foundation without the enterprise price tag.
Featured Products
This guide is a structured self-assessment tool built on the Burks AI Governance ModelTM — a five-layer executive
decision architecture for responsible AI scale.
It is not a compliance checklist. It is a readiness diagnostic. Its purpose is to surface the governance gaps that already
exist in your organization, so you can address them before they become operational, legal, or reputational liabilities.
Each section corresponds to one layer of the framework. For each layer, you will answer a set of yes/no readiness questions, calculate a layer score, and identify priority gaps.
At the end, a composite score will indicate your overall AI governance posture and direct you toward the appropriate next step — including a free discovery call with Tamara Burks.
The Starter Kit is the prescription. The Guide was the diagnosis.
Most organizations at the small and mid-sized level are running AI without a governance structure in place. They're using tools. They're getting results. But no one has documented who authorized those tools, who owns the data, what happens when something goes wrong, or whether the vendor they're trusting with their client information has ever been audited.
That's not a technology problem. That's a governance problem.
And a governance problem doesn't get solved by reading more about it. It gets solved by building the actual documents — the policy, the register, the checklist, the roadmap — that give your organization something to stand on.
That's what the six tools in this kit do.
You don't need to build a governance framework. You're licensed to deliver ours.
The AI Governance Workshop Kit™ is a complete, ready-to-facilitate session system built on the Burks AI Governance Model™ — the proprietary five-layer framework for responsible AI governance in small and mid-sized organizations.
Designed for business coaches, HR and People Strategy consultants, and AI and technology advisors who are already having strategy conversations with clients — and who need a structured, credible framework for the AI governance conversation their clients are not having anywhere else.
What's inside the kit:
The Facilitator Guide is your complete session script with SAY, ASK, and WATCH cues for every point in the session. It covers both half-day (3.5-hour) and full-day (6-hour) formats, walks you through all five layers of the Burks AI Governance Model™ with layer-specific facilitation strategy, includes objection handling for the six most common resistance points, and closes with a debrief protocol and discovery call CTA to BSH implementation services.
The Participant Workbook is distributed to every session attendee. It contains the opening AI inventory exercise, layer-by-layer fillable worksheets for all five layers, a governance gap identification section with risk rating, and a 30/60/90-day action commitment page with named owners and completion criteria. Each participant leaves with a documented baseline and a personal governance commitment.
The Slide Deck is 22 slides built for projection or screen share. Every layer has an intro slide and a corresponding exercise slide. Each slide includes the "you are here" layer stack so participants always know where they are in the framework. Keyboard arrow navigation, thumbnail strip, and progress bar are built in.
Who this kit is for:
This kit is designed for coaches and consultants who work with organizational leaders, HR teams, and executive teams — and who want to expand their practice into AI governance facilitation without building a framework from scratch. Your expertise is the facilitation. The Burks AI Governance Model™ is the framework. You bring both into the room.
