Co-Own AI Governance
Design thinking for Equitable AI
Governance is vague. DEI gets sidelined. Hype takes over.
Left unchecked, AI systems drift. Shortlists skew. Feedback loops calcify into unfair hierarchies. Legal, reputational, and human risk compounds.
Performative DEI” signals virtue but changes little. And hype erodes trust when strategies fail.
Stop inheriting drift.
Why this matters now
AI without proper oversight risks unfairness and damages public trust.
Strong governance keeps systems fair and accountable.
Claim the governance seat before AI claims you.
Build the guardrails, not just watch the road.
Shift from representation to regulation.
Challenge the myth of neutral AI.
Architect the future you’re asked to defend.
This isn’t a lecture. It’s a hands-on build session
In one focused half-day, your team applies proven tools to your real hiring workflows, not hypothetical case studies.
Part 1
Map & Diagnose (45 min)
- We unpack how AI is already acting in your hiring flow.
- You’ll identify drift points, “casino moments” for candidates, and unseen bias loops.
Deliverable: a draft Equity Risk Map of your own process.
PART 2
Design & Decide (60 min)
- Using our Mission Cards, you assign responsibility, set constraints and escalation paths.
- You’ll see where to put explainability, how to phrase candidate comms, and how to pre-empt regulator questions.
Deliverable: a working AI Governance Playbook tailored to your organisation.
BREAK
Q&A (15 min)
PART 3
Embed & Measure (60 min)
- Create lifecycle checklists from sourcing to promotion.
- Decide metrics, monitoring cadence, and reporting lines.
- Build your 30-Day Action Plan; owners, timelines, quick wins.
Deliverable: a live draft of your metrics pack and a plan to present to your exec team.
After
Follow-Up Clinic (60 min, post-workshop)
- Bring your snags once you’ve started implementation.
- We review progress, unblock issues, and fine-tune policies.

Turning intent into operational discipline
I’m the founder of The Intersection Network. I’ve spent 20+ years at the intersection of recruitment, HR and DEI, including leading AI-in-hiring projects with Microsoft, Accenture and Avanade.
I help HR and TA leaders define responsibility, set constraints, and measure reality so inclusion isn’t accidental, it’s designed. From sourcing and screening to assessment and progression.
Former roles include:
- Global I&D TA Lead at Avanade
- Disrupt HR TA AI Lead
I translate claims into practice. No theatre. Just accountable mechanisms that work.
“Early movers set the norms & narrative for equitable AI.”
Everyone else inherits drift.

Will this slow us down?
It slows the wrong launches and speeds the right ones. That’s not delay, that’s discipline.
Do we need to be “good” already?
No. Just coachable and candid. Progress beats PR.
What if we’re regulated?
Even better. Regulators like receipts. We’ll help you write them.
