Return on Investment

A 2025 KPMG survey found that 67% of UK organisations have no formal AI use policy, yet 85% of employees are already using generative AI tools. The average cost of an AI-related data breach is £3.1 million. This workshop produces a working governance framework in half a day — a fraction of the cost and time of legal consultancy, and infinitely cheaper than the risk of having no policy at all.
