What is the Audit-Tested AI Center-of-Excellence Building course about?
As AI initiatives scale, teams face mounting pressure to demonstrate control, consistency, and compliance. Without a formalized Center of Excellence, efforts become fragmented, audits expose gaps, and executive confidence wanes. The absence of clear frameworks leads to duplicated work, version drift, and governance by exception rather than design.
