What is the Enterprise-Class AI Center-of-Excellence course about?
As AI adoption accelerates across departments, distributed teams face growing pressure to deliver consistent, governed, and interoperable solutions. Without a coherent center-of-excellence model, organizations struggle to share learnings, enforce standards, or scale what works, leading to fragmented tools, duplicated effort, and stalled ROI.
