AI Governance Foundations — Starter Kit with Apoorva Sharma

AppyGuru’s AI Governance Foundations pack is a practical, original course and working kit for founders, GRC leads, product managers, security partners, people-operations teams, and operations owners who need to move from scattered AI use to visible, accountable decisions. It is built for a first ninety-day operating rhythm rather than a policy binder. The course explains governance in plain language, then turns the ideas into a policy, an inventory, risk treatment, evidence habits, and an executive conversation.

The four-module course PDF covers why governance exists, readable Green/Amber/Red acceptable-use rules, inventory and residual risk without fake precision, and executive briefings using exposure, themes, decisions, and a clear ask. It includes learning objectives, exercises, facilitator prompts, worked examples, quizzes with answer keys, capstone criteria, checklists, and a detailed 90-day action plan.

The Word AI Policy Starter includes purpose and scope, definitions, roles and RACI, traffic-light examples, data and IP rules, human oversight, vendor and tool approval, exceptions, incidents, training, review cadence, version history, an approval record, intake questions, go-live evidence prompts, and change triggers. SAMPLE text remains visible so teams know what to customize before publication.

The Excel AI Inventory and Risk Register includes instructions, dashboard formulas, inventory, risk rows, a control library, exception log, review cadence, dropdowns, status coloring, sample systems, agentic and consequential-use examples, and privacy, fairness, security, quality, confidentiality, and operational risk themes.

The PowerPoint Executive Briefing Deck covers why now, current exposure, risk themes, controls and gaps, the 90-day plan, decisions requested, inventory snapshot, control-to-evidence mapping, and leadership commitments. Speaker notes help facilitate without an architecture lecture.

File contents: four-module course PDF; editable Word AI Policy Starter; Excel AI Inventory and Risk Register; PowerPoint Executive Briefing Deck; supporting checklists, exercises, prompts, examples, quizzes, answer keys, capstone criteria, and 90-day action plan.
