People & Tool Readiness

An acceptable-use policy fits on one page

Staff are already using AI. A one-page policy and a short training session close most of the risk.

By Paul Engerman and Tracy Engerman ·


If you have not written an AI policy, your staff have already written one for themselves, one paste at a time.

What sub-score 3.3 measures

Policy and change management asks whether an acceptable-use policy exists, whether staff know it, and whether someone owns keeping it current.

What goes on the page

  • Which tools are approved, and for what
  • What data must never be pasted into any tool
  • Who to ask when a case is unclear
  • How to report a mistake without blame

The fix

An AI policy and training engagement takes about three weeks: one page of policy, one session per department, and a named owner.
