GOVERNANCE
9 pieces tagged governance.
01
Oversharing is the whole problem
Copilot made your permissions mess searchable, and the control most rollout plans name for it is being retired.
02
Two regimes, one policy
The UK loosened automated decision-making this February while the EU tightened on a delayed timetable, so a single AI policy will be wrong somewhere.
03
Who owns the agent
An agent acts under someone's authority. Deciding whose is an organisational design question, and most agent programmes have not answered it.
04
Measuring Copilot without lying about it
The dashboards report activity, the board asked about value, and honest measurement starts with saying which of the two you have.
05
The agent inventory you don't have
The Agent 365 registry is available on every Microsoft 365 plan, your tenant already contains agents nobody commissioned, and almost nobody has looked.
06
Writing an AI use policy people will actually follow
A policy people follow is two pages, leads with what they are allowed to do, and names a person to ask.
07
Buying help: what good looks like
The test of a Copilot engagement is what your organisation can do afterwards without the supplier, and several of the standard deliverables fail it.
08
Restricted SharePoint Search is retiring
New enablement is blocked from 31 July 2026, and the replacement control behaves differently enough that swapping the name in your plan will not do.
09
Article 50 is live
The EU AI Act's transparency duties took effect on 2 August 2026, they reach UK organisations whose output lands in the Union, and nobody owns them.
