Webinar | Applying the King Code for AI and IT Governance

Good governance results in good outcomes. You already know that, but in a changing technological and regulatory environment, it’s hard to know what good governance for AI and IT looks like. The fifth version of the King Code, specifically the principles and practices on IT governance and emerging technologies (data, information and technology governance), includes AI governance.

Enable your digital adoption through good governance. We can help you.

In the absence of specific laws and rules regulating emerging technologies, the King Code provides organisations’ governing bodies with best practices to apply and explain in a South African context. It’s especially useful for organisations looking to reform their governance mechanisms to lawfully, safely, and securely leverage emerging technologies to enable business processes.

It also separates IT governance into two subtopics: data or information governance, and technology governance.

Improve your organisation’s IT governance by applying the King Code.

As lawful enablers, we like how King V says that organisations must be enabled to achieve, optimise and sustain their business strategy, then sets out the practices that create that enabling environment.

Join us for a webinar on this important topic.

Outcomes of this webinar on applying the King Code for IT governance

• Learn how proper risk management helps you manage and control your digital assets and information.
• Feel confident investing in and deploying emerging technologies by understanding how the King Code provides a foundation for effective IT governance.
• Know the AI governance guiding principles in the King Code. 
• Understand that organisations need a clear accountability structure and human oversight.

Audience

Every person playing a role in IT governance in a large data-driven organisation should attend.

Applying the  King Code is mandatory for JSE-listed companies.  For organisations not listed on the JSE, the King Code is voluntary, but useful. That’s why we think this webinar is for organisations of all types and sizes. It’s especially useful for organisations that use data and leverage technology in their business processes, goods, or services.

If you have wondered how to responsibly adopt emerging technology to help your organisation achieve its outcomes, this webinar is for you!

We think anyone who helps organisations promote good governance should attend.

• IT Governance officers and specialists – to govern IT
