Shadow AI in Sustainability Teams (and How to Govern It) | George Diplas & Martin Sieg
Q: What signals show that prompting is no longer in the shadows and that responsible implementation is underway?

Shadow AI in Sustainability Teams (and How to Govern It) | George Diplas & Martin Sieg
Q: Martin, how do you differentiate Movement IQ from general purpose AI tools and address buyer skepticism with specific points?
Martin describes Movement IQ's domain-specific context, regulated data handling, traceability, and built-in references that help users stay on topic and trust outputs, along with governance tooling and adaptable Movement Labs partnerships.
Shadow AI in Sustainability Teams (and How to Govern It) | George Diplas & Martin Sieg
Q: Maybe you can start with George first, and you can tell us in which most companies treat AI governance like a compliance break. So maybe share with our audience what this governance looks like when it speeds up adoption, and what are the two or three rules that make teams move faster, not slower?
George explains that governance should create a safe, obvious path for approved tools and uses, with clear data rules and risk-based review standards, so adoption speeds up rather than stalls.
Before the Tipping Point: The Real Bottlenecks Stopping Climate Startups from Scaling (with Sam Kullar, ClimateDoor)
Q: What non-negotiables help turn pilots into scalable commercial motions?
Key non-negotiables include commercial terms and triggers in contracts, maintaining top-of-funnel activity during pilots, and ensuring pilots outperform expectations to justify ongoing revenue.
Before the Tipping Point: The Real Bottlenecks Stopping Climate Startups from Scaling (with Sam Kullar, ClimateDoor)
Q: How do founders misuse consulting-style analysis, and when does rigorous consulting actually help?
Founders overdo diagnosis but often underdo structure and accountability; proper consulting helps when it creates disciplined processes, clear go-to-market plans, and measurable accountability.
