This session explores the foundations of corporate governance and why it is becoming a critical success factor for organizations implementing Business Central and AI‑driven solutions. We begin with a clear, business‑focused introduction to what corporate governance is—covering accountability structures, decision‑making frameworks, risk management, and compliance obligations. From there, we examine how governance principles apply specifically to Business Central implementations, including data stewardship, process controls, segregation of duties, auditability, and organizational policies that drive sustainable deployments. Finally, we translate those same principles into the world of AI implementations, highlighting governance requirements for responsible AI usage, data ethics, transparency, bias mitigation, monitoring, and alignment with emerging regulatory expectations. Attendees will leave with a practical, end‑to‑end understanding of how governance shapes system design, project execution, and long‑term operational success. We wrap up with a review of how tools like Purview can help, and how it's integrated into Business Central, and what capabilities it provides.
