Hybrid AI Operating Model
What is the Hybrid AI Operating Model?
A Hybrid AI Operating Model combines the best parts of all the other AI operating models (e.g., Centralized, Federated, and Embedded) into one structure.
It keeps a central team to set standards and governance while business units have their own AI teams to build and deploy solutions. It's the most flexible and scalable model for large and/or fast-moving organizations. Think of it as centralized guardrails plus decentralized execution.
What does the Hybrid AI Operating Model Do?
A hybrid AI model:
- Keeps AI governance, risk, and compliance centralized
- Allows business units to build AI solutions independently and tailored to their specific needs
- Ensures consistency without slowing teams down
- Scales AI across the enterprise without losing control
- Balances speed, safety, and strategic alignment
- Reduces bottlenecks while preventing "shadow AI"
It is the model most organizations eventually grow into from our experience.
