New research shows most enterprises overestimate their AI governance maturity

Professional ServicesFinancial ServicesHealthcareManufacturingTechnology

Schellman’s 2026 State of AI Governance Report, released July 29, 2026, finds a growing gap between organizations’ self-reported confidence in AI governance and the actual maturity of their programs, even as ISO 42001 and new audit regimes emerge.

Why it matters for leaders
Clients increasingly need an independent view of whether their AI controls are real or performative. A consulting firm that can bridge business strategy, technology, and formal assurance standards will be invited into board-level risk discussions, not just IT projects.

Design an "AI Governance Readiness and Audit-Prep" service that benchmarks clients against evolving standards like ISO 42001, identifies capability gaps, and builds a practical 12–18 month roadmap tied to business value and risk reduction.
