AI Governance Benchmarking
Client
A global industrial manufacturer
Situation
The client was advancing AI initiatives across multiple regions but lacked a consistent framework for assigning ownership, development location, and decision rights. As its AI portfolio expanded, the business needed clearer governance to balance speed, compliance, local relevance, and effective collaboration between headquarters and China.
Approach
Asia Growth Partners worked closely with the client to conduct peer benchmarking and translate findings into a standardized decision-making framework for AI localization and delivery ownership.
- Benchmark peer governance models and operating practices.
- Extract decision criteria for “HQ-led vs. China-led” development
- Define a simple evaluation checklist and workflow.
- Clarify decision rights, RACI, and escalation paths.
- Align stakeholders in a working session and finalize the guideline pack.
Results
- Produced a governance decision framework including: decision criteria, HQ-led vs China-led project structures, and a systematic decision workflow with documentation expectations
- Completed a China AI compliance assessment covering the regulatory context and practical deployment implications for China vs global hosting decisions
- Assessed 16 existing and planned AI use cases across 3 categories, classifying 8 high, 3 medium, and 5 low compliance-priority use cases to guide localization necessity and governance gates
- Benchmarked 5 peer companies on AI deployment and governance patterns; summarized findings such as 3/5 hybrid deployment models and governance maturity patterns across peers
