The situation

Harbour Lane Accounting needs one secure place for its AI governance work before the team records proposals, decisions or supporting material.

The problem

A public page cannot safely create organisation membership, and a new workspace should not suggest that governance work is already complete.

The choice

Maya Chen signs in, creates the Harbour Lane Accounting workspace and becomes its first organisation administrator. She reviews the starting options before choosing the work the team needs.

Harbour Lane worked example

See this task in AI Governance.

Business task

Application record

The pivotal moments

What changes—and why it matters

01

Create the organisation workspace

What the person does
Sign in, confirm the organisation name and create the workspace.
What the workspace records
One Australian organisation boundary and its first administrator.
Why it matters
Organisation records and access begin inside a secure workspace rather than on a public page.
02

Choose whether to learn or begin work

What the person does
Open the read-only worked example or continue with Harbour Lane’s own records.
What the workspace records
Example content remains separate from customer records and does not use the assessment allowance.
Why it matters
People can learn safely before entering organisation information.
03

Start with the task that matters now

What the person does
Review the overview and open the policy, register, tools or use-case work the team needs.
What the workspace records
Current records, open work and next actions stay visible in one organisation workspace.
Why it matters
The team can start anywhere while keeping related governance work connected.

The complication

The difficult part stays visible.

Creating the workspace and assigning an administrator establishes access and ownership. It does not complete governance work or approve an AI use.

The outcome

Work moves forward without hiding uncertainty.

Harbour Lane has a secure organisation workspace, a responsible administrator and a clear place to begin without implying that any AI use is approved.

Key points

Remember these three things.

  1. Create the organisation boundary before entering governance records.
  2. Use the worked example without mixing it with organisation data.
  3. Start with the task you need and connect the work over time.
