Organizations are moving quickly to adopt AI across the business. While your leadership may be pushing to use AI everywhere now, the task of putting the necessary compliance, risk, data quality, and data security measures in place can feel daunting, if not overwhelming. This webinar breaks AI readiness into practical, manageable steps, so organizations can focus on the most important measures to implement now while building a strong foundation for broader AI use over time.

We examine the different stages of AI adoption, including early experimentation with tools such as ChatGPT, the use of Copilot, and more advanced deployments such as agentic RAG. For each stage, we outline the policies, processes, and data capabilities needed to responsibly and effectively support that level of use. Come away with a clear checklist for assessing your current state, identifying gaps, and understanding how each stage builds on previous ones to create a scalable and sustainable AI readiness program.

Tom Mighell and Mark Diamond of Contoural and Stacey Shaw of Careington International Corporation share practical strategies for addressing AI readiness, explaining which foundational measures need to be put in place, why they matter, and how each element supports the next. They also highlight activities that may appear helpful but in reality do little to advance true AI readiness, enabling participants and fellow stakeholders to focus their time and resources on areas of greatest impact. The session is designed to provide practical guidance for legal and related professionals advising their organizations on AI risk, readiness, and operational preparedness.

Many organizations want to modernize and expand their records management programs, but face a tough reality: budgets are tight and companies are reluctant to add headcount. At the same time, compliance requirements are increasing, and the amount of information to manage continues to grow. 

In this practical webinar, we share proven strategies for growing the scope and impact of your records management program by using the people, tools, and resources you already have more efficiently and effectively.

 Topics include: 

  • How to align your program’s maturity level with real business needs and risk without over-engineering. 
  • Creating a records schedule that is easier to execute. 
  • Automating records management with tools you already own. 
  • Engaging business units to help drive the program (and making it a win for them). 

This session provides real-world examples and headcount-conscious approaches to help you do more with less while still advancing compliance, reducing risk, and strengthening your organization’s information governance posture.
