The blank template is a standalone document with every field and its guidance, ready to fill in or print. Printing uses this page’s print stylesheet, which drops the navigation and the download controls.
Required fields
The guidance matters more than the field name. A field labelled “risks” with no guidance gets filled in with “standard AI risks” and the artifact stops being worth reading.
| Field | Guidance | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose of the role | A first stop, not an expert. | Required |
| Time commitment | Specific, so a manager can say yes. | Required |
| Responsibilities | Four or five, all achievable in the stated time. | Required |
| Explicitly not responsible for | Prevents the role from drifting into approving things. | Required |
| What the champion gets | The role has to be worth doing. | Required |
| Support from the program | What they can rely on. | Required |
Worked example
Filled in against the sample record set, so the template can be judged on what a real entry looks like rather than on its headings.
AI champion — role description
- Purpose: one person per office or practice group who is visibly using the approved tools and is willing to be asked. Not an expert. A first stop who knows when to escalate.
- Time: roughly two hours a month — one roundtable, plus ad-hoc questions from colleagues.
Responsibilities and boundaries
- Answer or route colleagues' questions locally. Bring recurring confusion to the monthly roundtable. Pilot new guidance before it goes firmwide. Raise unapproved tool use as a conversation, not a report.
- Not responsible for: approving anything, making security or privacy determinations, or being available on demand.
- What champions get: early access to evaluate new capability, a direct line to the program and functional reviewers, and named credit in leadership reporting.
