Touch Stone Publishers | Executive AI Governance
Strategic intelligence for institutions under AI pressure.
Touch Stone helps boards, CEOs, general counsel, risk leaders, and executive teams turn AI exposure into governed advantage before regulatory, operational, or reputational failure writes the lesson for them.
The board-level problem
AI is now a governance question, not a technology project.
Authority is unclear
AI decisions are moving faster than board mandates, management controls, audit evidence, and human accountability.
Risk is distributed
Legal, compliance, finance, security, operations, and product teams each see part of the exposure. Few see the whole operating system.
Proof is thin
Executives are being asked to approve AI deployment without a durable record of governance intent, containment, oversight, and escalation.
The commercial path
One offer ladder. Four decisions.
| Step | Buyer question | Touch Stone asset |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Chairman’s Briefing | What must the board understand now? | A concise executive briefing for fiduciary attention and mandate clarity. |
| 2. Role Playbooks | Who owns which risk? | Role-specific guidance for directors, CEOs, GC, CFO, CISO, compliance, and risk leaders. |
| 3. Executive Playbook | How do we govern AI in practice? | The operating model for decision rights, oversight, containment, and evidence. |
| 4. Executive Lab | Can our leaders apply it under pressure? | A facilitated lab for executive teams facing real AI governance decisions. |
Pricing signal: briefing and playbook assets are intended to be visible before a buyer submits a form. Institutional licensing, executive labs, and advisory work move into scoped five-figure engagements when the audience, risk, and proof standard require it.
Why Touch Stone
Built for executive judgment, not generic AI enthusiasm.
Proof before persuasion
Public claims are being moved toward sourced evidence, stated judgment, or removal. Serious buyers should never have to guess what is fact, interpretation, or offer language.
Governance before tools
The work begins with mandate, accountability, containment, and decision evidence. Technology only matters after authority is clear.
