With the rise of 'free' or unvetted AI tools being used by employees to summarize confidential data or write code, what 'soft' governance strategies (beyond technical blocks) have you found effective in steering users toward approved, secure environments without killing their momentum?
Looking for a "single phone number" solution with these requirements: Our IT & Security leadership team needs one number that ~15 senior executives can add to their mobile device “Do Not Disturb” bypass settings. Multiple IT/Security leaders (<10) would need access to call/text from this number, but only for significant Cyber, Physical, or System incidents requiring immediate awareness. After the initial call/SMS (which contains no sensitive data), we'd use our standard MS Teams bridge for Crisis Comms. The number's sole purpose is triggering the DND bypass. Has anyone implemented something similar?

As you develop your PMO, ensure you have reasonable limits for the size of the project relative to the amount of PMO requirements. Example, 1 person project for 8 weeks, only internal labor certainly doesn't require the level of Project Management that an SAP deployment to 20,000 USERS over 8 countries, with hundreds of various project participants. In my experience, those working on projects vs. those in the PMO have vastly different opinions on the level of project management tools required per the size of the actual project. Every company will be different on what is appropriate, but I would recommend you start off with "light" PMO touch where you can or you will lose a lot of enthusiasm from non-PMO participants. It's a delicate balance of the right amount of tracking, and still getting the work done. If the labor hours for completing PMO paperwork exceed the hours working on the project something has gone horribly wrong.
