Abstract:
Traditional technology governance assumes stable technologies, predictable consequences, and manageable demand. Generative AI (GenAI) upends these assumptions: its pace of adoption outstrips centralized review capacity, while the technology itself transforms faster than conventional governance mechanisms can adapt. This briefing introduces minimum viable governance, a framework designed to match the pace of GenAI while enabling the organization to sense and seize opportunities. Drawing on an in-depth case study and prior MIT CISR research, we identify four characteristics of minimum viable governance that leaders can apply across governance domains.
