LinkedIn Post 15: The 18-Month Governance Plan
You've decided to implement AVCGA governance. Here's a realistic timeline:
Months 1-3: Foundation
Audit current AI vendor contracts for governance gaps
Identify which vendors operate your buildings
Establish baseline performance metrics
Develop AVCGA-CHANGE amendment language
Months 4-6: Initial Deployment
Negotiate AVCGA-CHANGE amendments with critical vendors
Implement pre-update testing for model changes
Establish update approval process
Build basic performance dashboard
Months 7-9: Transparency
Implement AVCGA-AUDIT requirements
Require vendors to provide explainability reports
Schedule first round of audit reviews
Document model logic and training data
Months 10-12: Data Ownership
With contract renewals, add AVCGA-PORT language
Establish model export requirements
Test vendor capability to export models
Verify format compatibility
Months 13-18: Multi-Vendor
When adding new vendors, require AVCGA-ATTRIBUTE framework
Establish attribution protocols
Build multi-vendor performance dashboard
Implement liability language (AVCGA-LIABILITY)
This isn't a sprint. It's a sustained governance program.
But 18 months from now, you'll have vendor relationships that are transparent, accountable, and competitive.
Worth the investment.
