ResponsiAI: Smart AI Governance

Pariveda’s lightweight AI governance framework is built to help organizations overcome the fear, uncertainty, and risk that often stall promising AI initiatives. By enabling responsible, scalable AI adoption, our approach empowers teams to move faster by creating clarity and structure across key governance touchpoints. Our framework centers on three foundational components: establishing a cross-functional AI governance team, building an AI intake and qualification process, and integrating AI-specific checkpoints into existing PMO processes.

1. Cross-Functional AI Governance Team Approach

   The first step in effective AI governance is forming a lean, cross-functional team with representation from Legal, Cybersecurity, Data, Enterprise Risk, IT, Functional Units, and the PMO. This team drives the vision and strategy for AI adoption and provides oversight throughout the AI lifecycle, ensuring trustworthy, compliant, and secure AI practices.

   Deliverables

   • RACSI Framework – Clearly defined roles and responsibilities to drive accountability across teams.
   • Regulatory and Compliance Alignment Plan – Ensures the organization stays ahead of evolving AI legislation and regulatory requirements.

2. AI Intake and Use Case Qualification Approach

   To move from idea to impact, organizations need a streamlined intake process that balances value, risk, and feasibility without overcomplicating early innovation. Pariveda helps you set up an efficient method to surface, assess, and prioritize AI opportunities using a practical, business-aligned framework.

   Deliverables

   • AI Concept Card Template – A template for capturing opportunity, feasibility, value, and risk for each use case.
   • ResponsiAI: AI Value and Risk Assessment – Customized scoring model that enables rapid decision-making and alignment with strategic priorities.
   • Governance Playbook – Defines structure, cadence, and decision criteria for intake prioritization. -Intake Process Integration Guide – Recommendations for embedding the AI intake process into existing PMO or innovation workflows.

3. PMO Process Integration with AI-Specific Checkpoints Approach

   Most organizations already have design, development, and deployment processes in place—but they’re not built for AI. Pariveda helps you layer AI-specific safeguards into existing workflows, ensuring risk and compliance are addressed without slowing delivery.
