Tailored Public Sector AI Education
At Janis Consulting education is always phase 1 of any AI strategy. The more educated constituents, municipal leaders, or department heads are, the better decisions they will be able to make when it comes to AI. Janis consulting is always non-biased in its information in the educational forums. In AI decision making however we have a heavy bias towards doing no harm to humans.

Tailored Private Sector AI Education
Every business faces different risks, goals, workflows, and levels of AI readiness. A customized approach helps teams understand how AI applies directly to their industry, daily operations, compliance needs, and customer expectations rather than relying on generic information that may not fit their reality. This makes training more relevant, more actionable, and more likely to lead to confident, responsible adoption.
AI Sentiment Surveys
AI Sentiment surveys allow you to gage AI tool adoption speed of your organization and understand cultural hiccups that may occur.
Lunchtime Pop-ups
A lunch time pop up is an educational, project based learning opportunity where Janis Consulting comes to your organization. We answer questions and show applicable tools that could help them immediately.
Shadow AI Usage Surveys
Shadow AI is AI usage that is already happening in your organization (IE ChatGPT on their private phone) Getting a handle of how people are already using it can give you clues on where it can have the biggest impact.
Leadership AI Deep dives
Targeted knowledge to move your organization Human Centrically forward in the AI era.
Governance Guardrails Before AI Tools
Governance guardrails should be established before AI tool adoption so organizations know exactly how a tool will be evaluated, approved, monitored, and used before it ever touches real work. These guardrails can include rules around data privacy, security, vendor review, human oversight, acceptable use, bias testing, and accountability. Putting them in place early is important because it helps prevent rushed decisions, reduces legal and operational risk, protects sensitive information, and ensures AI is introduced in a way that is responsible, consistent, and aligned with the organization’s goals.
An AI platform for municipal governance. It brings together the most decision relevant intelligence across policy, procurement, legal risk, peer city activity. It then turns that intelligence into practical work flows for due dilligence, documentation, and performance tracking. The result is a clearer and more defensable way for city leaders to evaluate AI tools, manage risk, and justify adoption.
Security
Making sure new technologies do not out pace a cities ability to protect public systems, sensitive data, and community trust.
Regulatory Alignment
Ensuring local decisions are consistent with applicable state and federal laws, procurement standards, privacy requirements and public records obligations.
Accountability
Determining a clear chain of command for how AI tools are chosen, used, monitored, and corrected. Regular reviews of outcomes to ensure systems are fair and lawful.
