Missions

Training, enablement & adoption

• Design and deliver AI training programs for all functions (content, workshops, live sessions, materials).

• Provide hands‑on support to teams to select the right uses and embed them into workflows.
• Build an AI literacy culture and encourage teams to surface opportunities from the field.

Process improvement & AI use‑case delivery

AI tooling & integration into the IS

Governance, security & compliance

• Define and enforce an AI governance framework: usage rules, data classification, contractual requirements, access management, traceability.
• Implement security measures to prevent uncontrolled usage (data leakage risks, Shadow AI, unsafe practices).
• Track evolving AI risks (technical, legal, privacy) and continuously improve standards.
• Lead tool rationalization (AI, automation, knowledge): map the landscape, identify redundancies, propose decisions.
