Bring clarity to AI before risk, confusion, and disconnected decisions take hold.
Align is Altamir’s 3–4 week AI governance readiness sprint for organisations that need a clear starting point.
It helps leadership understand where AI is already being used or proposed, where governance gaps exist, what needs attention first, and what practical next steps should follow.
3–4 week sprint | Executive-ready outputs | Practical next-step roadmap
AI rarely arrives in an orderly way. Governance should.
Most organisations do not begin with a clean AI strategy, a formal operating model, or mature internal governance. They begin with experimentation, scattered usage, vendor-led capability, and growing executive concern.
Align helps leadership move from uncertainty to a practical, well-governed starting point.
Questions Align helps answer
Where is AI already being used?
What is experimental, and what is operational?
What should leadership prioritise first?
Which use cases need oversight now?
Who owns decision-making?
Do we need stronger governance now, or a clearer baseline first?
Book your Align briefing
A short discussion to understand your current AI environment, governance questions, and whether Align is the right starting point.
A practical overview of Align
-
Align is Altamir’s entry-point service for organisations that need to establish an informed starting position for AI governance.
It is not a theoretical strategy workshop and it is not a heavyweight transformation program.
It is a targeted engagement that helps your organisation:
understand where AI activity is occurring
identify priority use cases, risks, and governance gaps
clarify leadership concerns and decision points
assess current readiness for structured AI governance
define practical next steps for governance, oversight, and adoption
The outcome is a clearer, shared view of your current AI landscape and a roadmap for what should happen next.
-
Align is suited to organisations that are:
already seeing AI appear across teams without a clear governance structure
unsure how mature their current oversight, policy, or accountability settings are
beginning to consider ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, or internal AI governance obligations
trying to move from informal experimentation to a more disciplined model
seeking executive clarity before investing in larger governance or transformation work
looking for an independent external advisor to help frame the path ahead
It is particularly well suited to associations, healthcare, higher education, not-for-profits, government-adjacent organisations, and member-facing organisations where trust, accountability, and practical governance matter.
-
Discover
We engage with leaders and key stakeholders to understand current AI activity, emerging opportunities, concerns, and governance context.
Clarify
We review where AI appears to exist, distinguish formal from informal use, and identify the governance, ownership, and risk questions that matter most.
Assess
We examine current readiness across governance, oversight, accountability, policy, and supporting capability.
Advise
We provide an executive-ready summary of findings, priority issues, and recommended next steps for proportionate governance action.
-
At the conclusion of Align, clients typically receive a tailored package of outputs that may include:
AI activity snapshot
AI use case register
current state observations
priority risk themes
governance gap summary
leadership decision log
readiness heatmap
recommended next-step roadmap
executive briefing pack
These outputs are designed to be practical, usable, and easy to socialise internally.
They help leadership teams move from scattered assumptions to a shared basis for action.
What’s included in Align
Each Align engagement is tailored slightly to context and may include additional outputs not listed below, but typically includes:
Executive and stakeholder discovery
Structured conversations with key leaders and relevant stakeholders to understand current AI activity, organisational priorities, governance concerns, and decision-making context.
Governance and readiness review
An assessment of current governance settings, ownership, policy maturity, oversight mechanisms, and organisational readiness for more structured AI governance.
Leadership briefing and recommended next steps
A concise, executive-ready summary of findings, observations, and a practical roadmap for what should happen next.
AI use case and activity scan
A practical review of where AI may already exist across the organisation, including formal, informal, embedded, vendor-led, or experimental use.
Risk and priority framing
Identification of key governance gaps, emerging risks, and the AI-related issues most likely to require leadership attention first.
SPEAK TO USBefore governance frameworks, policies, committees, or assurance programs can work well, organisations need a shared understanding of where they are starting from.
Align provides that foundation.
It helps leadership understand what is happening, what matters, and what should happen next.
