TEMPO: Entry Point

Know where you stand. Know where to go.

Every engagement starts with clarity. The AI and Data Strategy practice maps your current state, identifies governance gaps, and builds a prioritized roadmap that connects directly to TEMPO's maturity path.

Most organizations think they know their AI exposure. The assessment consistently reveals 3 to 5x more ungoverned AI usage than leadership expects. That gap between perception and reality is where risk compounds.

This is the entry point. Whether you need a full maturity diagnostic or a focused readiness check, Strategy tells you what exists, what is ungoverned, and exactly where to start.

What you get

  • AI and Data Trust Assessment: maturity diagnostic across all four TEMPO engines
  • AI Readiness Assessment: shadow AI inventory, tool landscape, organizational readiness
  • Governance Roadmap Development: prioritized, sequenced, tied to TEMPO maturity path
  • Executive and Board Advisory: board-ready risk summaries, strategic positioning for CDO/CIO
TEMPO: Govern + Orchestrate

Get the data house in order. AI needs a foundation.

AI is only as trustworthy as the data it runs on. Data governance builds the foundation: ownership, quality, discoverability, and accountability. Without it, every AI initiative is built on sand.

BDC delivers data governance that is lightweight and enabling, not bureaucratic. Operating models, council structures, and quality frameworks designed to run in days, not sit in SharePoint for months. TEMPO's Govern engine absorbs the policy and standards machinery so your teams experience governance as the way they work, not something layered on top.

This is where most organizations have the biggest gap and the fastest path to measurable improvement.

What you get

  • Data Governance Program Design: operating model, council structure, RACI, decision rights
  • Data Quality Management: measurement frameworks, remediation, monitoring
  • Metadata and Data Cataloging Strategy: discoverability, lineage, trust signals
  • MDM Strategy and Tool Selection: assessment, roadmap, vendor evaluation
  • Data Governance Operations: ongoing cadence, review cycles, sustainability
TEMPO: Adopt + Govern

Govern your AI. Defend it to your board.

AI governance is where risk becomes visible and defensible. Risk frameworks, ethics guardrails, model lifecycle management, and regulatory alignment that make your AI usage explainable, auditable, and board-ready.

This is also where BDC is sharpest. Agentic AI changes the governance equation entirely. When AI systems act autonomously, make decisions, and chain actions together, static policies break down. The governance layer has to be architectural, not procedural. BDC designs governance that travels with your AI agents from day one.

The organizations that build this architecture now will be ready when regulation catches up. The ones that wait will be retrofitting under pressure.

What you get

  • AI Risk and Ethics Frameworks: responsible AI policies, bias detection, ethical guardrails
  • Agentic AI Architecture: governance for autonomous systems, human-agent decision rights
  • AI Model Governance: lifecycle management, approval workflows, risk tiering
  • Regulatory Alignment: NIST AI RMF, state AI laws, industry-specific compliance mapping
TEMPO: Orchestrate + Adapt

Make it stick. Make it count.

92% of health plans have AI governance policies on paper (NAIC Health Insurer AI/ML Survey, 2024–2025). Only 3% believe governance is widespread in practice (HealthEdge 2026 Payer Survey). That gap closes here. Enablement is the bridge between governance on paper and governance in practice.

Training, role redesign, change management, and use case governance that makes AI adoption real and measurable. Teams learn the governance framework by using it, not by reading about it. The result: faster AI adoption with governance built in from the start.

Every dollar spent on AI that nobody uses is a dollar wasted. Enablement turns AI investment into AI outcomes.

What you get

  • AI Governance Training Programs: role-specific, practitioner-level, leadership-level
  • Change Management for AI Adoption: resistance mapping, champion networks, adoption metrics
  • AI Use Case Governance: evaluation frameworks, value-risk scoring, portfolio management
  • Governance Champion Enablement: internal capability building so governance sustains without BDC
