AI is creating exciting opportunities for businesses — but how can you make the most of it while managing the risks?
Join AI strategist Richard Gray, founder of Canoe AI, for an interactive, practical workshop designed to help you navigate AI governance with confidence. Whether your organisation is already embracing AI or still exploring where to start, you’ll discover how to put the right foundations in place to support responsible adoption, protect your business and turn AI opportunities into real business value.
What will you take away?
- Practical guidance on developing AI policies and putting effective governance in place.
- A clearer understanding of risk — including data security, compliance and model safety.
- Confidence to act by identifying the right safeguards without slowing innovation.
- Real-world insights into how businesses can adopt AI responsibly, with practical examples and expert advice you can apply in your own organisation.
Richard Gray has spent over 25 years helping ambitious businesses turn hard work into growth, profit and clarity. Over the last few years, that has increasingly meant helping them get AI right.
The problem: most businesses are adopting AI faster than they're governing it, and the advice out there is either hype or heavyweight enterprise compliance built for companies far bigger than theirs.
Richard built Canoe AI: practical AI strategy, governance and adoption, built around your business, your people and your pace. From shadow AI and agent rollouts, to simply knowing where to start, Richard helps companies to move forward with confidence. AI should support growth, not create more chaos!
