Enterprise Data Governance Plan for Artificial Intelligence Initiatives: A Framework for Innovate Software Consulting Inc Ltd

Abstract

This paper presents an enterprise data governance plan for all artificial intelligence (AI) projects at Innovate Software Consulting Inc Ltd. The company offers Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) Cloud services, business-to-business (B2B) credit risk tools, electronic Integrated Healthcare Management Systems (e-IHMS), and enterprise analytics solutions. The plan covers seven governance areas: data ownership, data quality, privacy and security, lifecycle management, accountability, ethical AI, and ongoing compliance monitoring. It builds on the AI vision statement, ethical AI framework, team structure proposal, and executive review exercise. Two AI tools, Claude (Anthropic) and Gemini (Google), simulate reviews from four C-suite leaders: Chief Legal Counsel, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Executive Officer. A critical reflection ties together the feedback and identifies areas for improvement. The plan follows the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and maps to GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, FCRA, and ECOA rules.
