What is the AI-Ready Master Data for S/4HANA Leaders course about?

Leaders assume AI projects fail due to model issues. Truth: 78% stall at data readiness. Legacy governance, siloed domains, and inconsistent golden records block AI at scale. Even mature S/4HANA environments lack the metadata rigor AI demands. You’re expected to fix it, without slowing innovation.
