What is the Implementation-Focused AI Use Case Triage course about?
Mid-market teams face unique pressures: limited headcount, competing priorities, and the need to show ROI quickly. Without a disciplined triage process, AI efforts become scattered, under-resourced, and hard to scale. Leaders end up choosing based on hype rather than feasibility, leading to stalled projects and eroded stakeholder trust.
