AI Without the Hype
for Business Owners

A practical seminar on governance, security, and getting AI-ready the right way. No technical background required.

Governance, security,
and AI readiness

This session is designed for business owners and senior leaders who are feeling pressure to "do something with AI", but want to make sensible decisions before switching tools on across the organisation.

Presenter Nati Turtledove will explain where AI can create value, where the real risks sit, and why safe adoption starts with data, permissions, policy, and leadership clarity.

A practical route to
safer AI adoption

Governance

The real AI readiness question

AI adoption should not start with a licence purchase. It should start by understanding what your business data looks like, who can access it, and what controls are already in place.

  • How AI surfaces business data
  • Why SharePoint permissions matter
  • Where oversharing creates risk
  • What an AI acceptable use policy should cover
Security

The risks behind the hype

Most AI incidents are not caused by AI behaving mysteriously. They happen because the business was unprepared for what AI could access, summarise, and expose.

  • Shadow AI and unmanaged tool use
  • Confidential data in public AI tools
  • Microsoft 365 Copilot exposure risks
  • Basic DLP and sensitivity label considerations
Readiness

A clear 30/60/90 day path

Walk away with a realistic view of how to assess your AI readiness and what needs to happen before rolling out AI tools more widely.

  • Data maturity checks
  • Process maturity review
  • Leadership AI literacy
  • Controlled pilot before full rollout

Built for clarity,
not complexity

The session is structured around the questions business owners are already asking: what AI means, what can go wrong, and how to get ready without overcomplicating the business.

  1. Welcome and framing

    Set the tone: this is about adopting AI safely, not rushing into tools.

  2. The AI hype problem

    Why fast, tool-led adoption creates avoidable business risk.

  3. What AI means for your business

    Practical use cases across CRM, documents, admin, operations, and marketing.

  4. Data, security, and governance

    Where the real risks sit across Microsoft 365, Copilot, SharePoint, and shadow AI.

  5. Are you AI ready?

    A simple readiness assessment across data, process, governance, Microsoft alignment, and leadership literacy.

  6. Your path forward

    A governance-first approach, next steps, and where Dove365 can support the journey.
