Lack of support and business understanding of Governance. If we can clearly articulate the value and get the buy in from business leaders, it will be a win. Also we don't need to let every one to know every detail about governance, it's the trust and typically CDO's have a hard time to establish the trust.

My ESG team uses a dedicated application to consolidate indicators for external reporting. This system manages a workflow where a designated owner submits data and a validator approves it. However, the process is heavily manual and lacks system integration. With upcoming regulations like CVM 193 in Brazil, the pressure for accurate, auditable, and timely ESG data is intensifying, and our current tool is being questioned. Question: What strategies or platforms have you implemented to automate the extraction of ESG data from various source systems (EHS, HR, ERP, etc.) into a centralized reporting tool?

Do you manage AI and traditional IT infrastructure investments as separate portfolios (budgets, governance, decision criteria), or do you combine them? What are the benefits and drawbacks?

‘AI’ Business Model – With many components flowing into the AI domain (cost, data, E&C, people, value, strategy, duplication of everything, etc.), I’ve started to think about splitting out ‘AI’ from the operating model and putting it into a separate legal entity. This way, I could manage a) risk and compliance, b) cost, c) resource allocation, d) governance, e) IP, f) revenue generation, etc.

Of course, this isn’t new in general, but I’m especially interested in how this approach could help with the ongoing challenge of ensuring compliance with data privacy and regulations related to LLMs and data access/usage over time.

My question: Is anyone else thinking about this, or has anyone already done it? I know there are examples in the literature, but I wanted to float this here for general comments and discussion.
