“Enterprise AI Governance: Strategy and Management Learnings”
May 15, 2026
Lessons from building an enterprise-scale AI governance framework.
<h1>Enterprise AI Governance</h1>
<p>What does it actually take to roll out AI responsibly across a 30,000-person multinational? Agnes Bade, VP and Head of Group AI & Digital Law at the Adecco Group, shares the strategic and managerial lessons from building an enterprise-scale AI governance framework — and the practical missteps to avoid.</p>
<h2>Three layers of governance</h2>
<p>Drawing on the Adecco experience, Agnes will walk students through the three layers every large organisation needs:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Policy</strong> — the hard rules: what AI is and isn't allowed to do, and who signs off.</li>
<li><strong>Process</strong> — how a model goes from idea to production with risk reviews built in.</li>
<li><strong>Practice</strong> — the day-to-day habits, training and tooling that turn policy into reality.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Real cases, real trade-offs</h2>
<p>Expect concrete anonymised cases: an HR-screening model that had to be redesigned for fairness, a chatbot rolled out across 60 countries, and an automated legal-review tool that needed careful guardrails. The talk closes with a frank Q&A on what business-school graduates can do to be useful on day one.</p>
