Services

Practical AI governance, fitted to your organisation

AURA 3.0 engagements help organisations move from AI principles and policies to governed, evidenced and operational practice — delivered as a workshop, targeted specialist engagement, 90-day implementation, fractional governance service or multi-year maturity partnership.

Where are you now?

Four engagement pathways

Every engagement is tailored to your AI ambitions, maturity, industry, regulatory environment, risk appetite, operating model and priority use cases. Most organisations begin along one of these pathways.

AURA Minimum Viable Governance Implementation

90 days · from $60,000

Governed AI in 90 days. A focused implementation establishing the minimum viable governance required to move from fragmented AI use or controlled pilots to a governed organisational capability. This is not a policy-writing exercise — it establishes the operating controls, accountabilities, evidence and workflows required to govern real AI use cases.

Tailoring & Delivery

Configured to your organisation

Each AURA engagement can be configured by sector, regulatory environment, organisation size, business unit, AI maturity, selected roles and use cases, delivery methodology, technology platform, vendor environment, governance model, required artefacts and level of implementation support. Delivery can be on site, remote or hybrid — as a standalone workshop, fixed-scope sprint, embedded implementation, fractional leadership service or ongoing maturity partnership.

AURA does not replace your existing governance, risk, delivery, technology, security, change, testing or assurance disciplines. It connects them. The result is AI that is not only approved, but governed, evidenced, auditable and capable of being operated safely.
