Preventive AI Governance for Enterprise Leaders
You're moving fast on AI.
Are humans still in the driver’s seat?
Keep it Human helps enterprise leaders define exactly what human beings must own, what AI can/should do, and create principles and structures that make accountability visible and enforceable.
What's Happening in Your Organization
AI is moving through your organization faster than your governance can follow.
Some of it you authorized. Some of it you didn't.
And in that gap, accountability is quietly disappearing.
-
External
AI is spreading across your enterprise — including in the shadows — with no governing framework in place to define who owns what.
-
Internal
You can feel the exposure. Accountability is blurring. You can't see where human judgment actually lives anymore — or where it's already been quietly outsourced.
-
Philosophical
Organizations should be run by humans who can be held accountable — not systems that obscure who decided what and why.
Why Keep it Human
You're not behind.
You're navigating something with no established playbook.
Every enterprise leader we work with is facing the same reality: AI is moving faster than governance, and the frameworks that exist weren't built for this moment.
Keep it Human was founded on a conviction built across 25 years of Fortune 500 transformation and operational experience: humans should not be forced to adapt to systems. Systems should be designed around humans.
We're not a technology firm.
We're not a compliance checkbox.
We're the strategic partner that helps you see your AI landscape clearly and build the structures to lead it with confidence.

A Proprietary Methodology
The Human+AI Operating Constitution is a four-phase framework built specifically for enterprise AI governance: not adapted from a compliance template or a tech audit.

Built for This Moment
We work directly with CEOs and boards who need clarity: not another deck about AI risk or hype about another AI platform. We give you a map, a structure, and a path forward.
How it Works
Human+AI Operating Constitution
A four-phase engagement that maps your full AI landscape, draws a clear line between what humans must own and what AI can handle, and builds governance structures that make accountability visible. So your leaders know what to stand behind and your employees know what you stand for.
Step 1Step 2Technical Translation
Build governance structures into how work actually happens — protocols, decision architecture, and accountability frameworks embedded in your operations.
Human Fluency
Equip your leaders to sustain, scale, and evolve what you've built — so governance lives in the organization, not just in a document.
Human Blueprint
Define what humans must own versus what AI can handle. Draw the line that doesn't exist yet — and make it structural, not aspirational.
AI Footprint
Map every AI touchpoint in your organization — including shadow AI — so you know exactly what's operating and where human oversight is absent.
Step 4Step 3What’s at Stake
Without Preventive AI Governance
Regulatory exposure as AI accountability standards tighten and liability from decisions no one can verify a human made
Financial expense and operational toll of constant remediation
Board loss of confidence when the governance question comes
Reputational damage when something goes wrong and no one can say who was responsible
An organization moving fast—but without anyone truly in charge
With the Human+AI Operating Constitution
A clear map of your full AI landscape—including what's operating in the shadows
A defined line between human ownership and AI capability
Governance structures embedded in how your organization actually works
Accountability that is structural, visible, and yours to stand behind
The confidence to lead AI strategically—not just manage the risk of it
Humans we've worked with

"Maura proved over and over again that she was trustworthy. I would share situations and ask, “What am I not seeing?” She became that trusted person for me and that was just amazing. That's her superpower. Her ability to build genuine trust very quickly with all layers of the organization, all the way through.”
Mary Faulkner, CISO, Thrivent Financial

“Maura is one of the best product managers I've worked with in my career. She has amazing experience across a diverse set of industries and top notch coaching skills!”
Natalia Williams (Chief Product Officer, Qonto – formerly CPO, Hootsuite and Mailchimp)
-
“Maura balances fierceness and softness in a way that I really admire. I think that's also why people trust her and welcome her into teams and share their problems and encourage her to be a part of the solution… because she can blend that intellectual and emotional piece really well.”
Jen Swanson, Tuckpoint Advisory Group
