For Critical Infrastructure Asset Owners

A different conversation — facilitation, not implementation.

If you are responsible for a SOCI-defined asset, the National AI Plan now intersects your CIRMP. The value here is not another consultancy layer. It is an independent heavy-industry translator who can help legal, cyber, governance and delivery teams turn the AI overlay into work that actually gets done.

What I do

I facilitate the AI overlay where your existing governance, cyber, legal and prime contractor delivery streams need to align. The focus is practical coordination, plain-English translation and clear action ownership.

  • Translate the AI Risk Annex between your CIRMP and your supply chain obligations.
  • Help your internal teams test whether prime contractor AI governance positions are clear, defensible and usable.
  • Run workshops that turn the AI overlay into decisions, owners and next actions.
  • Bring thirty years of heavy industry, energy, defence and shipbuilding context without selling a platform.

What I don't do

The boundaries matter because they protect trust. The specialists you already use for formal assurance, cyber-physical risk and regulatory work stay in the room.

  • Not full CIRMP build or uplift — your existing security partners hold that scope.
  • Not regulator-facing work or formal attestation.
  • Not cyber-physical or OT risk assessment.
  • Not a substitute for your governance, legal, audit or assurance functions.

Selective facilitation when the AI overlay is stuck between teams.

These engagements are deliberately bounded. I do not replace your legal, cyber, assurance or delivery specialists. I help the room translate AI risk into practical decisions, owners and next actions.

AI Overlay Facilitation

For SOCI-defined asset owners who already have legal, cyber, governance and delivery partners involved. The work translates the AI overlay into language each party can use and turns the discussion into clear actions.

  • Translate the AI risk annex between CIRMP, procurement and delivery teams.
  • Test prime contractor AI governance positions for clarity and usability.
  • Run workshops that create decisions, owners and next actions.
  • Keep the work independent, with no platform or regulator-facing scope to sell.

Board / Delivery Alignment Workshop

A structured conversation for teams that need to align AI governance language across board, legal, cyber, procurement and prime contractor delivery without turning it into another consulting program.

  • Clarify where the AI overlay touches existing governance work.
  • Translate contractor claims into questions your internal teams can assess.
  • Identify decisions that are stuck between functions.
  • Leave your specialists in charge of their formal assurance scope.

Where this helps

Asset owner teams often have the right specialists involved but no neutral translator across the whole chain. AI risk starts in one conversation, procurement asks it another way, legal sees a third version, and delivery teams need something they can use with primes and subbies.

How it stays grounded

The work is shaped by heavy industry delivery reality: bids, projects, supply chain behaviour, governance evidence, and the commercial pressure that sits behind every compliance request.

A selective facilitation engagement, not a sprint.

If there is a fit, the next step is a 30-minute conversation to understand the asset, the parties involved, and where the AI overlay is getting stuck.
