The ROI of AI Governance: A 2026 Executive Playbook

AI is now embedded in how organizations hire, lend, price, and communicate—but in most enterprises, governance is still scattered across slide decks, spreadsheets, and ad‑hoc approvals. At the same time, board scrutiny and regulation are rising, and roughly half of companies report negative consequences from AI, from bad decisions to compliance issues and customer erosion.​

Far from a brake, AI governance is emerging as the differentiator that lets organizations scale AI safely, credibly, and profitably. This playbook turns that idea into a practical roadmap for CEOs, boards, CAIOs, CIOs, CISOs, CDOs, and risk leaders.
