Advisory

Consultancy in AI, data strategy, analytics and governance.

The frameworks in the books, applied inside your organization — by a practitioner with nineteen years across academia, government and industry.

AI Strategy & AI Governance

AI governance committees, review boards, model accountability and responsible-AI policy — the structure that stops AI projects failing before they start.

  • AI governance charter & committee design
  • AI review board cadence
  • Model risk & responsible-AI policy

Data Strategy & Stewardship

From data ownership to operational stewardship: the roles, RACI models and escalation paths that turn data into a trusted foundation.

  • CDO operating model
  • Data owner vs. steward definition
  • Data governance council design

Business Analytics & Intelligence

Predictive modeling, econometrics and BI delivery that answers executive questions — with the financial case articulated in the CFO's language.

  • Predictive & quantitative modeling
  • BI platform and KPI design
  • ROI models for data initiatives

GRC Programme Design

Choosing and combining the right frameworks — COSO, COBIT, ISO 31000, NIST CSF, FAIR — into one coherent map instead of two hundred islands.

  • Framework selection & harmonisation
  • Control library rationalisation
  • GRC maturity assessment

Third-, Fourth- & Nth-Party Risk

Vendor tiering, due diligence, fourth-party discovery, contractual risk transfer and concentration risk across a shared vendor ecosystem.

  • Vendor risk tiering & questionnaires
  • Fourth-party discovery & mapping
  • Contract clause libraries

Enterprise & Operational Risk

Risk lifecycle design across identification, assessment, treatment and monitoring — with appetite statements the board can actually use.

  • ERM framework implementation
  • Risk appetite & KRI design
  • Operational resilience

Privacy, Security & Compliance

Privacy programmes and information security governance mapped to the regulatory obligations that actually apply to you.

  • Privacy framework implementation
  • ISO 27001 / NIST CSF alignment
  • Regulatory compliance mapping

Audit Readiness & Assurance

Internal and IT audit preparation from a CISA/CRISC practitioner — evidence, control testing and remediation planning.

  • Control testing & evidence design
  • Audit remediation programmes
  • Continuous control monitoring

Cloud & Secure Development Governance

Cloud security control frameworks and secure software development governance embedded into delivery, not bolted on afterwards.

  • Cloud control framework (CCM) alignment
  • Secure SDLC governance
  • Shared-responsibility mapping

Executive Education & Enablement

Workshops and training for boards, data teams and risk functions through the Ravens AI Academy programme.

  • Board-level AI literacy
  • Practitioner GRC workshops
  • Data-trust culture programmes

Describe the challenge — an AI programme that needs governance, a vendor ecosystem you cannot see through, or a GRC estate that needs one map instead of many.
