Governing
AI.

§ 01 Who it's for

For those who decide.
Not for those who code.

Governing AI is designed for entrepreneurs, CEOs, C-level executives and managers who lead people, processes and responsibilities. No technical AI expertise is required. What's required is the awareness of making decisions in a context that AI is already changing.

It's not for developers, data scientists or technical specialists. For those who carry responsibility for the outcome, instead, it's the missing step.

Do you recognize at least one of these situations?
01

You make important decisions based on data and recommendations that someone else, or some system, has filtered for you.

02

Within your team there are different views on what AI can or cannot do, and every choice becomes an implicit conflict.

03

You've introduced AI tools in your company without defining who is accountable when something goes wrong.

04

You know you should be doing something about AI, but you don't know what, where to start, or how to measure whether it's working.

§ 02 The real problem

AI is already inside
your decisions.

Whether you know it or not. The question isn't whether to use it. It's whether you're governing it, or it's governing you.

01

Unconscious delegation

Algorithms and automated recommendations enter your processes without anyone deciding to give them that role. The responsibility stays with you. The control doesn't.

02

Data without context

Dashboards, forecasts, scorecards. You can read the numbers. But can you tell when a signal is noise and when it's truth? AI amplifies both, without distinction.

03

Misaligned management

The people at the table have different views on what AI can, and cannot, do. Without a shared language, every AI choice becomes an implicit conflict.

04

Responsibility without governance

AI carries legal, ethical and reputational risks. If your company has no clear criteria, it's accumulating them silently.

The real risk isn't not using AI. It's using it without realizing how it's shaping decisions, priorities and accountability.

§ 03 An innovative format

No slides.
Just the concepts that matter.

4 seasons, 30 episodes. 5 minutes each. An expert talking to you, as if seated across from you. Immediately applicable, designed for those with little time and a lot of responsibility.

This isn't an online course in the traditional sense. You won't find PowerPoint presentations, academic theory, tutorials about tools that will change in six months.

You'll find an expert talking to you, as if seated across from you, about AI, decisions, what changes in your role when artificial intelligence enters the processes you lead.

Each episode lasts 5 minutes. You watch it whenever you want, wherever you want. On a train, between calls, in the time that would otherwise be lost. What remains is concrete, applicable, designed for those with little time and a lot of responsibility.

✓

Slide-free micro-videos. The instructor speaks to you and guides you progressively from foundational concepts to concrete governance.

✓

C-level language, not technical jargon.

✓

Watch whenever you want, on the online platform and the mobile APP.

✓

Logical progression, from understanding what's changing to the ability to govern it.

✓

Personal certificate upon completion of the program.

§ 04 The program

A program
in 4 seasons.

Not a sequence of lessons. A progression: from understanding what's changing, to the ability to govern it. Each season has a precise focus, each episode opens a concrete question.

Season · 01 8 episodes

I. The Decision

How decision-making changes when AI enters the processes. Where support ends and delegation begins. Why more data doesn't mean better decisions.

E · 01Who really made that decision?
E · 02The cost of not deciding
E · 03The skills AI is making obsolete
E · 04More data, fewer decisions
E · 05The invisible delegation
E · 06Fast doesn't mean First
E · 07The talent that compensates for the algorithm
E · 08The last question
Season · 02 8 episodes

II. The Signal

What we see, and what we don't see, when AI filters reality. How to distinguish real signals from distortions. Why what looks relevant isn't always so.

E · 01AI sees everything, we don't
E · 02The difference between an AI trend and an AI transformation
E · 03When AI confirms what we want to hear
E · 04The right signal at the wrong moment
E · 05Who programmed the filter
E · 06The information AI doesn't capture
E · 07AI time and decision time
E · 08What AI is choosing not to show you
Season · 03 8 episodes

III. The Table

How discussions change in organizations. Who speaks first, what dissent costs, what happens when AI enters shared decisions.

E · 01Who speaks first (and why now it's AI)
E · 02The dissent AI makes more expensive
E · 03The AI data point that closes the debate
E · 04The invisible skills in the AI era
E · 05The meeting after the meeting (where AI decisions are really made)
E · 06When AI has more voice than those at the table
E · 07The accountability lost between the algorithm and the committee
E · 08The table that governs AI (instead of being governed by it)
Season · 04 6 episodes

IV. The Competence

What truly remains human. AI knows more than us about almost everything. The point isn't to know more. It's to develop the judgment to decide when the numbers say A and the answer is B.

E · 01The competence AI doesn't replicate
E · 02When AI knows more than you (and it doesn't matter)
E · 03The generalist's paradox in the AI era
E · 04Why those with more experience are at greater risk with AI
E · 05Learning AI as a strategy, not as an obligation
E · 06The question that remains
§ 05 With Agostino Marengo

From the companies
that are trying.

Governing AI comes from real experience. From mistakes seen on the field. From the questions CEOs ask and that no one has yet answered well.
