Governance shouldn't bottleneck innovation, but right now, it does.
The situation this course is for
High-performing ICs like Hao are expected to lead on governance without formal authority. The result? Last-minute sign-off scrambles, repeated requests for evidence, and delayed launches, all while trying to maintain technical excellence.
Who this is for
Senior technical IC at a large tech firm navigating AI governance demands without managerial title or budget
Who this is not for
Junior engineers, policy writers, or compliance officers who don’t touch code or system design
What you walk away with
- Own the end-to-end AI governance sign-off process within your current role
- Produce audit-ready documentation in under 2 hours instead of days
- Embed governance checks directly into CI/CD pipelines
- Gain recognition as the de facto decision point for AI control questions
- Expand your remit to include cross-team influence without a title change
