Organisational effectiveness, responsible by design

AI tools and rules that work with your people.

People find the fastest way to get work done, and that’s often outside the rules. At GTL (Gateway Talent Labs), we draw on our backgrounds in organisational psychology to understand how your team really works, set guardrails people will follow, and help you adopt new tools, AI included, in ways that are safe, responsible and useful.

The problems we solve

  • People are already using unapproved tools.

    Company and client data ends up in places nobody has vetted, from AI assistants to everyday apps. Blocking tools outright pushes it out of sight, not out of use.

  • Nobody is quite sure what’s allowed.

    Policies are confusing, out of date or hard to find, so employees don’t use helpful tools or find their own instead.

  • Caution slows progress down.

    Leaders are caught between the risks and the opportunity, and aren’t sure which tools will help them move faster, safely.

74% of AI users expect to increase their investment in AI. (GTL survey, 2026)

The top concerns among AI users are accuracy (62%) and data privacy (57%). (GTL survey, 2026)

Based on GTL’s 2026 survey of 51 organisations.

We find out how your employees work, set guardrails that fit your organisation, and help you get the benefits safely.

What we do

Three stages, plus ongoing strategic advisory. Use them together or pick only what you need.

  • Groundwork

    Understand how your employees work

    Typical work: leadership and team interviews, a workflow review, and a shadow tools and AI audit.

  • Trajectory

    Decide what’s safe and worth using

    Typical work: a tool and AI policy, an ownership and approvals map, AI vendor and tool vetting, and work with your legal counsel.

  • Launch

    Put it to work, safely

    Typical work: rollout of vetted tools with safeguards, team training, a clear home for approved tools and policies, and adoption support so employees understand the guardrails.

  • Strategic Advisory

    Ongoing support after Launch

    Typical work: leadership check-ins, “is this safe to use?” advice when you need it, and hands-on support.

Why GTL

  1. Security, privacy and ambition in the same room

    Nobody should have to pick one. We help you create rules that let employees get the most from their tools while reducing the risk to your confidential data.

  2. Human behaviour, not just controls

    Rules that ignore how people work get worked around. We look at why unapproved tools and AI spread, and suggest guardrails and communication channels to reduce them.

  3. Helping you say yes safely

    We don’t only keep you out of trouble. We push for appropriate, beneficial use of new tools and AI, so safety doesn’t cost you progress.

  4. Alongside your legal and security teams

    We work with your lawyers and technical staff, not in place of them, and bring employees into the same conversation so what you set up works for the people using it. Grounded in the Responsible AI (RAi) framework.

BCG estimates that 70% of the value from AI comes from changing how people work, through workflows, culture and governance. Only 10% comes from the AI itself. (BCG)
