What is the Cross-Functional AI Center-of-Excellence course about?
AI pilots fail to scale in regulated industries not because of technology, but due to misaligned incentives, siloed teams, and unclear ownership. Without a cross-functional center-of-excellence model, organizations risk costly rework, audit exposure, and missed strategic windows, even as boardrooms demand faster, safer AI adoption.
