Spending too much time justifying past decisions instead of setting new precedent?

The situation this course is for

Policy leaders are increasingly asked to set the rules for emerging AI systems, but without structured methods, every new request becomes a re-negotiation, draining bandwidth and weakening influence. The cost isn’t just time; it’s lost opportunity to shape the rules before they’re needed.

Who this is for

Senior policy leaders in tech who sit at the intersection of regulation, product, and engineering, with demonstrated experience in government or national-level policy formation. They don’t implement policy , they define it, defend it, and scale it.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors focused on drafting policy documents, compliance analysts tracking regulatory changes, or legal advisors interpreting statute. This is not for teams executing pre-defined frameworks , it’s for those writing the next one.

What you walk away with

  • Define governance precedent that becomes default across AI product reviews
  • Produce auditable decision logs that withstand external scrutiny
  • Reduce rework cycles in policy documentation by standardizing rationale templates
  • Increase the number of AI initiatives that route through your function pre-commit
  • Build a reusable library of policy applications that compound across use cases
