Significant Exposure — Governance Not Yet in Place
Your organisation is using AI tools — whether you know it or not — without the governance infrastructure to do so responsibly. This is the most common position for education organisations right now, and it is fixable. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s getting the foundational pieces in place before something goes wrong.
Early Stage — Awareness Without Infrastructure
Your organisation is aware of the AI governance challenge but hasn’t built the infrastructure to address it systematically. Awareness is a real starting point — many organisations aren’t even there yet. The next step is moving from thinking about this to building something.
Developing — Some Pieces in Place, Gaps Remain
Your organisation has made meaningful progress on AI governance. Some dimensions are well-addressed; others have gaps. The work now is identifying which areas need the most attention and building toward a coherent, maintained approach rather than a collection of separate responses.
Well Positioned — Genuine Readiness
Your organisation has built genuine AI governance infrastructure. This puts you ahead of most education organisations in Canada. The challenge at this level is sustainability — maintaining and evolving your approach as the tools change faster than most policy cycles can keep up with.
