Apply the framework inside your organisation

Three interventions - from orientation to implementation. Each builds on research from The Intelligence Covenant Institute.

NIC Advisory

Executive Briefing

For whom
Board, executive team, and leaders with institutional responsibility
When relevant
For strategic AI decisions, board preparation, or unclear ownership
What happens
Compact session: the Covenant model, your context, and the covenant questions on the table now
Concrete output
Shared understanding of risks, priorities, and next steps - tailored to your organisation
Typical next step
A targeted covenant exploration or a leadership decision on ownership
Request a briefing

NIC Advisory

Covenant exploration

For whom
CIOs, HR, compliance, and line management structuring AI in practice
When relevant
When AI is already in use but shared agreements, capability, and ownership lag behind
What happens
Exploration of actual use, data boundaries, capability, and responsibility against the Covenant framework
Concrete output
Friction map with priorities, risks, and recommendations per Covenant layer
Typical next step
Covenant design for the most urgent layer or department
Request an exploration

NIC Advisory

Covenant design

For whom
Organisations ready to move from diagnosis to concrete agreements
When relevant
After an exploration, or when a specific domain (HR, education, IT) must be structured immediately
What happens
Focused design trajectory with cross-functional team: norms, boundaries, ownership, and escalation
Concrete output
Workable covenant design: principles, roles, boundaries, repair routes, evidence, and review moments
Typical next step
Internal decision-making, training, and periodic checks on use

Choice guide

Which intervention fits?

Use the route as a leadership choice guide. The briefing creates direction, the Compass makes friction visible, and covenant design creates the first workable agreements.

What we need beforehand

  • Brief context of the organisation and the decision moment.
  • Existing agreements, tool overview or relevant guidelines if available.
  • Known use cases, concerns, incidents or questions from leadership, IT, HR or compliance.
  • The desired decision date or moment when direction is needed.
