Work With Clerestory Labs | AI Governance, Training & Advisory
Clerestory Labs helps organizations protect decision integrity in environments where AI-generated insights increasingly shape strategy, operations, and investment decisions.
We work with boards, executive teams, and functional leaders through a range of formats, including executive briefings and keynotes, leadership retreats, executive education, cohort-based courses, practical guides and playbooks, and direct advisory work.
Every offering is built on the same standard: information used in important decisions should be validated, traceable, and defensible. Organizations can start with a single session or build a longer-term program, depending on where they are in adopting AI-assisted decision-making.
Our Offerings At a Glance
Executive Sessions, Briefings & Keynotes: Speaking engagements from 60-minute briefings to full keynote presentations, for boards, leadership teams, and conferences.

The Book: “Decision Integrity: How Organizations Stay in Control of AI” — A forthcoming book on decision integrity in AI-assisted environments.
Executive Sessions, Briefings & Keynotes
As the volume and speed of information increases, the greatest risk is not incorrect models or isolated data errors, but a gradual erosion of decision quality when information is accepted without sufficient validation, evidence standards, or accountability.
Clerestory's sessions give leaders and their teams a shared framework for maintaining decision discipline, evidence standards, and accountability as more day-to-day work depends on AI-generated and automated insights. Any team member who uses AI to find information, draft a summary, or inform a recommendation is part of the decision chain, and the sessions are designed with that reality in mind.
Session Formats
60-Minute Executive Briefings: High-level overview of decision integrity risks in AI-assisted environments and an introduction to a practical governance framework for leaders.
90-Minute Leadership Sessions: Deeper discussion of decision integrity risks, governance frameworks, evidence standards, validation processes, and operational practices, designed for boards, executive teams, and senior functional leaders.
Working Sessions: Small-group sessions that help teams apply decision integrity standards to their own decision processes, workflows, and governance structures. Suitable for analytics, strategy, operations, marketing, HR, finance, and other functions that use AI-assisted insights.
Keynote Presentations: Conference, association, and leadership event presentations focused on decision integrity, AI-assisted decision environments, and governance of generated insights.
Contact Us to schedule a briefing, leadership session, working session, or keynote.
Leadership Meetings & Retreats
Multi-hour or full-day retreats for boards and senior leadership teams to build a shared decision integrity framework, tailored to the organization's governance needs and risk profile. Retreats combine briefing content with structured working sessions so leadership teams leave with a concrete action plan, not just a discussion. Can also be scaled down to a focused segment inside an existing board or leadership meeting — down to 20 minutes — for organizations not ready for a full retreat.
Contact Us to design a retreat for your board or leadership team.
Team & Operator Sessions
Focused sessions for managers and functional teams who apply decision integrity standards to their own day-to-day work. Sessions can run standalone or be built into an existing leadership development or training program.
Contact Us to discuss a session for your team.
The Decision Integrity Toolkit
The standard itself: the Citation Standard, the Decision Record template, the five operational standards behind the practice, and a step-by-step roadmap for rolling it out. Included automatically with every training option above.
Contact Us to get the Toolkit for your organization.
Training Your Team
Your team needs the same training regardless of how it's delivered: why protecting decision integrity matters to their work, and how to do it. This includes setting the stage so that teams understand why this is so important, plus the nuts and bolts of the Citation Standard, the Decision Record, and the taskforce process behind it. The 3 options below teach the same material; the difference is who delivers it.
You Run It: A complete, ready-to-use Training Kit. Training deck, facilitator script, participant handouts, and a closing knowledge check, so any team leader can deliver consistent training internally.
They Watch It: Takes the training further in the form of an Online Course (Self-Paced), so each team member can complete it on their own time with no facilitator needed.
We Run It: The same Online Course (Live) training, delivered live by Clerestory in a single session, so your organization doesn't have to run it internally.
Contact us to set up training for your team.
Advisory & Applied Work
For organizations ready to build decision integrity into their operating rhythm, Clerestory provides direct advisory support: designing governance structures, evidence standards, and validation processes tailored to the organization's decision types and risk tolerance.

The Book — Decision Integrity: How Organizations Stay in Control of AI
Clerestory Labs is writing a book that extends the framework behind our sessions and training into a full standard for leaders — the Citation Standard, the Decision Record, and the organizational model for putting both into practice. Forthcoming.
Topics Covered
Sessions can be tailored for executive leadership teams, boards, functional teams, or cross functional groups. They are relevant to anyone whose work uses data, analysis, or AI-generated content to inform decisions.
How the flow of information is changing as AI-generated analysis and automation increase.
Where decision quality typically breaks down in AI-assisted work across different functions, not only in analytics.
Clear, practical standards for what counts as good enough evidence in important decisions.
Simple validation steps for checking AI-generated analysis and other automated outputs.
How to keep a short decision trail so major decisions can be traced back to their evidence.
How to set basic governance for AI-assisted insights, including roles and responsibilities.
Everyday habits that protect decision quality without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.
Ways to measure and monitor decision integrity over time so it becomes part of how the organization works.
Outcomes
Organizations that focus on decision integrity typically see improvements in:
Higher confidence in major decisions and in the information behind them.
Fewer decisions based on weak, unverified, or AI hallucinated analysis.
Better alignment between teams who produce analysis and leaders who rely on it.
Stronger accountability and documentation for major decisions and approvals.
Lower financial and operational risk from flawed analysis or incorrect assumptions.
Better return on strategic investments and faster execution with fewer reversals.
Audience
Sessions are relevant for:
Corporate boards and board committees
Executive leadership teams
Leadership development and executive education programs
Functional teams that rely on data and AI-assisted insights, such as strategy, finance, operations, marketing, HR, and analytics
Nonprofit and association leadership groups
Chambers of commerce and business leadership programs
Museums, cultural institutions, and education organizations
Organizations integrating AI into decision processes across the enterprise
The goal is not to slow down decision making, but to ensure that the information guiding decisions is validated, defensible, and reliable.
