What is the Cross-Functional AI Use Case Triage course about?
Even in innovation-first environments, AI projects often stall due to fragmented ownership, unclear criteria for success, and lack of cross-functional alignment. Teams waste time on low-impact pilots while missing high-leverage opportunities that require coordinated effort. Without a disciplined triage process, organizations underutilize AI’s strategic potential.
