AI Governance · Fractional Leadership

How many AI uses are running in your organization right now — and who owns each one?

Most organizations can name their AI vendors. Far fewer can identify every AI use, who owns it, what data it can reach, who it affects, and what happens when something changes. Renzo helps leadership establish that visibility, build defensible governance around it, and determine what should happen next.

Intelligence. Security. Transformation.  —  Powered by Renzo CS.
The Problem

Most AI inventories count systems. The exposure lives at the use level.

Team A

Uses Copilot to summarize project meetings.

Team B

Uses the same Copilot license to summarize employee misconduct interviews.

Same vendor. Same license. Same asset-register entry. Different people affected. Different data. Different consequences. Different evidence required. Your asset inventory probably counts that as one thing.

The Starting Point · Discover

AI Use Inventory

Two to three weeks. One defensible baseline — every AI use, its owner by name, the data it can reach, who it affects, whether it can act on its own, and what you don't yet know.

The Method

How Renzo establishes the baseline.

01

Discover

Find AI uses across functions — not simply the AI systems you purchased.

02

Attribute

Assign a named business owner to each one.

03

Trace

Systems, data, affected parties, geography and autonomous actions.

04

Challenge

Separate what is known from what is assumed from what is unknown.

05

Baseline

A defensible register, and a clear view of what needs deeper assessment.

Where It Leads

One starting point. Different outcomes.

The Depth Behind the Advice

We understand the systems underneath the governance.

An inventory can surface an AI agent with access to Azure, Entra, CRM, ERP, a data lake, APIs and SaaS applications. Renzo has spent three decades in that architecture — which is why we can execute what we recommend, not merely name it.

AI & Automation

AI implementation, agents, integration and strategy.

Security & Identity

IAM, access, architecture and cyber resilience.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Azure, data center, network and resilient architecture.

Our Methodology

The Renzo CS 3I Framework™

Technology initiatives fail when they start with tools. Every Renzo engagement starts with intent, and doesn't close until impact is proven.

I

Intent

Begin with defined business purpose and measurable goals. A business case that technology happens to serve.

II

Intelligence

The right architecture, chosen for the outcome rather than the vendor.

III

Impact

Validate, expand, and sustain. Every engagement closes with demonstrable proof of value.

Intelligence that drives impact. Security that builds trust.
Diagnose before prescribing

Can you answer these five questions?

Every AI tool and feature in use · who owns each one, by name · which influence decisions about people · what data each can reach · which a vendor enabled without anyone approving it. If not, that's the conversation — and we'll tell you whether it needs an executive, an architect, or neither.
