A practical programme that treats AI and data governance as one subject. One running case study, working templates you keep, and ISO/IEC 42001 covered end to end. No exams, no jargon wall, and tailored to your organisation.
It is a leadership programme from Gnaan AI that teaches managers and CXOs how to govern AI and the data behind it. Participants learn the frameworks (ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and Gnaan's own governance frameworks), then apply them to one running case and finish with a capstone plan and a set of working templates they can use at their own company.
Who it is forUnderstand what you are accountable for, and what to ask management.
Turn governance principles into decisions in your own area.
Map ISO 42001, the EU AI Act and data-protection duties to controls.
Build governance into delivery so the compliant path is the fast path.
Each stage builds on the last, and the same case runs through all of them.
Shared language: what AI and data governance are, why they belong together, and who owns what.
Structure, risk and impact assessment, and ISO/IEC 42001 with the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF.
Operating model, policies, catalogue, quality, master data, lifecycle and lineage.
Bring both halves together in a governance plan for the running case, using your templates.
Built on the Gnaan Governance Framework and the Gnaan Data Governance Execution Framework (DGEF), so each session connects to real checklists and deliverables.
Every module applies its ideas to the same case. By the capstone you have used each tool once, and you leave with filled-in documents modelled on the ones real governance teams use. Nothing is scored. The point is to practise the thinking.
Used for module assignments and the capstone.
The programme teaches what ISO/IEC 42001 requires and how an AI management system runs. If you then decide to certify, our certification programme takes you through to an ISO certificate issued by an accredited certification body.

The sessions draw on real audits and engagements, not slideware.
The programme is delivered for your organisation and tailored to your industry, your AI and data landscape and your regulatory context. Format and schedule are agreed with you. For a programme outline and a proposal, get in touch.
Managers, directors and CXOs who must make or oversee decisions about AI and data, plus the risk, compliance, legal, data and product leaders who work with them. No technical background is needed.
Yes. ISO/IEC 42001 is covered end to end: what the standard requires, the AI management system, Annex A controls, internal audit and the path to certification. It is taught alongside the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF so you see how the frameworks fit together.
No. Sessions are informative rather than scored, with no right or wrong answers. You complete fillable templates for each module and the capstone, and keep them as working documents for your own organisation.
One fictional organisation runs through the whole programme. Each module applies its ideas to the same case, and the capstone assembles everything into a governance plan for it. It keeps theory concrete.
Yes. We tailor examples, depth and emphasis to your sector, your AI and data landscape and your regulatory context, so the sessions reflect your real decisions.
The programme builds the understanding and working documents an ISO 42001 certification needs. If you decide to certify, our certification programme takes you from there to an ISO certificate.
