AI initiatives are outpacing oversight, creating misalignment between technical execution and board-level accountability.

The situation this course is for

As AI adoption accelerates, organizations face increasing pressure to demonstrate data provenance, model traceability, and compliance readiness. Without structured data lineage practices, teams risk audit delays, governance escalations, and loss of stakeholder trust , even when models perform well technically.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in compliance, risk, data governance, IT, or leadership roles within high-growth or regulated organizations who are stepping into or preparing for board-level AI governance conversations.

Who this is not for

This course is not for entry-level data analysts or engineers focused only on pipeline construction without governance context. It’s also not for vendors selling lineage tools , it’s for practitioners responsible for implementation and reporting within their organization.

What you walk away with

  • Map AI data flows to board-level risk and compliance requirements
  • Design lineage frameworks that support audit readiness and executive reporting
  • Align technical data tracking with governance KPIs and escalation protocols
  • Implement standardized documentation practices for model provenance and change tracking
  • Lead cross-functional alignment between data teams, legal, and executive stakeholders
