Developing an AI Policy

Turning insights into a practical, values-led framework

Why an AI Policy Matters

As AI technologies become part of everyday workflows, organisations face growing pressure to establish clear policies that balance innovation with responsibility.

A well-designed AI Policy doesn’t just manage risk, it builds confidence, promotes good practice, and ensures that AI is used in ways that align with your organisation’s mission, values, and legal obligations.

Our Developing an AI Policy service helps you move from exploration to implementation, transforming insights from earlier conversations and stakeholder mapping into a practical, actionable policy framework

What We Do.

We guide your organisation through a structured process to create an AI Policy that is:

  • Values-driven: Rooted in your mission, ethics, and risk appetite.

  • Practical: Focused on current and foreseeable uses of AI, not hypothetical scenarios.

  • Agile: Designed to evolve alongside your digital transformation journey.

  • Compliant: Built with UK GDPR and data governance at its core.

Our approach ensures your policy becomes a living document, one that supports adoption, enables innovation, and safeguards trust.

1 | Define Purpose and Scope

We help you identify what your AI Policy should cover, from generative AI to broader automation tools. You don’t need a perfect or exhaustive policy to start; instead, we focus on a practical foundation that:

  • Addresses current use and emerging risks

  • Supports good practice and compliance

  • Clearly defines what “AI” means within your organisation

  • Aligns your policy with your mission and values

2 | Establish Guiding Principles

Your organisational values determine your approach to AI.
We help you articulate guiding principles that set direction for:

  • Responsible innovation

  • Data ethics and transparency

  • Environmental and social impact

  • Acceptable and prohibited uses

These principles become the ethical backbone of your AI Policy.

3 | Define Acceptable & Prohibited Use

We help you translate your principles into clear, directive statements.
Your policy will outline:

  • How AI can be used responsibly across your teams

  • What levels of human oversight are required

  • What use cases or platforms are prohibited and why

This clarity helps staff use AI confidently and safely.

 

4 | Audit Tools and Ensure Compliance

AI platforms bring data protection and cyber security challenges.
We work with you to:

  • Audit tools currently in use across the organisation

  • Assess compliance with UK GDPR and internal governance standards

  • Establish a “safe to use” list of approved platforms

  • Set clear guidance for emerging or unlisted tools

5 | Consultation and Adoption

A policy is only effective when people understand and embrace it. We support your organisation to:

  • Engage staff meaningfully throughout development
  • Gather and incorporate feedback
  • Communicate the purpose and benefits of the policy
  • Plan regular reviews to keep the policy relevant

By fostering early involvement, your AI Policy becomes a shared commitment rather than a top-down directive.

The Outcome

You’ll finish this process with:

  • A tailored, practical AI Policy that reflects your organisation’s needs and values

  • Clear governance for responsible AI use

  • Increased staff confidence and engagement

  • A foundation for future learning, innovation, and digital transformation
