Responsible AI Operating Model Sprints
A 4-week engagement to help product and engineering teams embed Responsible AI into their operating model without slowing innovation.
Why Now
The EU AI Act and rising customer expectations mean “responsibility” can’t sit on the sidelines. Product leaders need practical, lightweight ways to embed Responsible AI into sprints, rituals, and decision frameworks.
Most organizations struggle with:
➜ Responsible AI being treated as a compliance add-on, not a product enabler.
➜ Teams unsure how to translate principles (fairness, transparency, oversight) into day-to-day decisions.
➜ Lack of consistent frameworks across squads, portfolios, and leadership levels.
This sprint gives you a clear, co-designed operating model that integrates Responsible AI into product delivery, while preserving speed and focus.
Who It’s For
✔ CPOs / VPs of Product
✔ Heads of Engineering / CTOs
✔ Product leaders scaling teams with AI or data-driven products
✔ Organizations seeking to align innovation with compliance and customer trust
Scope
A 4-week, collaborative sprint with leadership and product/engineering teams
1. Discovery & Assessment (Week 1)
✔ Review of current operating model: cadences, rituals, decision rights, and governance.
✔ Identify pain points where risk or compliance concerns slow delivery.
✔ Map leadership expectations for innovation vs. assurance.
2. Co-Design Workshops (Weeks 2–3)
✔ Two half-day design workshops with product, engineering, and legal/ethics reps.
✔ Define practical “guardrails” for AI use (e.g., risk triggers, decision gates, documentation).
✔ Design lightweight governance rituals that fit into existing agile practice.
3. Playbook Delivery (Week 4)
✔ Tailored “Responsible AI Operating Model Playbook,” including:
– Updated sprint/portfolio rituals with Responsible AI integration points.
– Roles & responsibilities (exec, PM, Eng, Legal/Ethics).
– Example decision checklists and templates.
✔ Final read-out session with exec team (90 min) to present the model and align on rollout.
