About the Book

The Governance Gap book cover by Tim Hendren.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future consideration. It is already inside business workflows, employee tools, vendor platforms, customer interactions, and decision-making systems.

The problem is not that organizations are adopting AI. The problem is that many are adopting it faster than they can govern it.

The Governance Gap examines the space between AI promise and operational reality — where unclear ownership, weak controls, shadow AI, poor review thresholds, vendor dependency, and invisible rework can create risk long before leadership sees the damage.

This book gives leaders a practical way to think about AI governance before deployment, not after failure.
