HOW WE CAN HELP
We Turn "AI Hype" into Board-Level Strategy
Don’t just adopt AI – govern it. We help enterprises navigate the complexities of Shadow AI, Data Sovereignty, and Digital ROI.
The Gap Between Innovation and Control
These days, the risk isn’t just missing out on AI – it’s using it recklessly. While your competitors are racing to deploy ChatGPT and Large Language Models (LLMs), your Board is asking the hard questions:
Where is our data going?
Are we compliant with POPIA and the EU AI Act?
Why haven’t we seen a return on investment yet?
Shadow AI is already in your building. Without a governance framework, your intellectual property is leaking out faster than your innovation is coming in.
Our Core Services
Service 1: AI Governance & Ethics
“Innovation Without Permission is Liability.” We design the “Guardrails” that allow your teams to experiment safely.
AI Acceptable Use Policies (AUP): Clear Red/Yellow/Green tiers for public vs. private AI tools.
Data Sovereignty Audits: ensuring your AI models host data within South African or compliant jurisdictions.
Algorithm Risk Assessments: Mitigating bias and hallucination risks before deployment.
Service 2: The Fractional CIO Office
“Executive Leadership, On Demand.” For organizations that need the weight of a 20-year Group CIO without the full-time headcount.
IT Turnaround Strategy: Stabilizing chaotic IT environments and restoring Board confidence.
Vendor Management: We handle the contracts, the SLAs, and the hard conversations with providers.
Board Advisory: We translate “Tech Speak” into “Balance Sheet English” for your Directors.
Service 3: Digital Transformation & Cyber Resilience
“Modernize or Die.”
Cloud FinOps: optimizing your Azure/AWS spend to stop budget bleed.
Cybersecurity Governance: Moving beyond “firewalls” to true ISO 27001 and NIST alignment.
Legacy Modernization: A clear roadmap to retire technical debt and move to agile platforms.
Why Blue Phakwe Consulting?
