Organisational enablement

Statements for those who enable AI use across an organisation: provision, policy, support and capability building, as distinct from performing the AI work themselves.

11 statements published at v1.29

What this overlay covers
INProvisioning AI tools and access with the controls the organisation’s policy requires.
INWriting and maintaining internal usage policy that people can actually follow.
INBuilding and sustaining capability across teams, including deciding what not to enable.
INRunning support and escalation paths for AI-related failures.
INReporting adoption, incidents and cost to the people accountable for them.
OUTPerforming the domain work. An enabler who also builds solutions holds the relevant D5 statements separately.
OUTProcurement and vendor contracting as commercial disciplines, except where the competence concerns AI-specific risk.
OUTBoard-level governance, which sits at D7 L4 rather than in an overlay.
How it combines with core statements

An enablement credential draws core statements at the level the organisation needs, most often D7 governance and D2 data statements, plus O2 statements covering the obligations of enabling others to work with AI. The overlay presumes the holder does not perform the work they enable.

Assembly shape
CoreDomain statements at the level the practitioner must hold themselves
OverlayO2 statements covering the obligations of this function

An overlay adds statements. It never modifies or replaces a core statement.

Statements by level

Every identifier is a permanent address. Indicators are normative; they state what would be observed in a person who meets the statement.

L2 Applied

3 statements
O2.L2.01Practice

Support colleagues in using sanctioned AI systems for their own work.

Indicators

L3 Proficient

5 statements
O2.L3.01Judgement

Assess organisational readiness for a proposed AI deployment.

Recommends against proceeding where readiness is absent

Design a competence development plan mapped to framework statements.

Indicators
Maps roles to statements and levels rather than to courses
Establishes the current position by evidence
States how progress will be verified

Design the support model for AI use, including escalation.

Indicators
States who answers what, and within what time

Captures recurring questions as a change to provision
O2.L3.04Judgement

Diagnose why a sanctioned tool is not being adopted.

Indicators
Establishes what the alternative provides that the sanctioned tool does not
Distinguishes a capability gap from a trust or process gap
Recommends provision alongside enforcement
O2.L3.05Judgement

Measure the effect of AI adoption on the work, not on tool usage.

Indicators
Selects measures that reflect outcomes rather than activity
States what the measure cannot show
Reports an adverse effect as readily as a favourable one

L4 Advanced

3 statements
O2.L4.01Practice

Establish the organisation’s AI capability strategy against defined competence.

Indicators
States the competence the organisation must hold, by role and level
Sequences investment against the statements that matter most
Reviews against evidence rather than against plan
O2.L4.02Judgement

Define the provision that makes policy followable.

Indicators
Provides a sanctioned route for every need policy prohibits meeting otherwise

Account to the governing body for AI capability and its gaps.

Indicators
Reports capability held against capability required
States the consequence of the gap in operational terms
Does not present activity as capability
Relationship to domains
D7Governance statements define the policy environment the enabler operates within and often maintains.
D2Provisioning decisions determine what data may enter which system; D2 statements apply directly.
O1Capability building overlaps with instruction where enablement is delivered as internal training.
