12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Even robust AI systems fail scrutiny when data origins and transformations aren’t clearly traceable to board-level standards.

The situation this course is for

In regulated environments, AI initiatives often stall during audit or governance review due to incomplete data lineage documentation. Teams struggle to connect technical workflows with executive risk reporting, creating delays, rework, and eroded stakeholder trust. Without a standardized, board-aligned approach, organizations face increased scrutiny and missed opportunities to scale trusted AI.

Who this is for

Compliance officers, data governance leads, risk managers, and technology executives in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, education, energy) responsible for AI transparency and accountability.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data scientists focused solely on model development, entry-level IT staff, or vendors selling lineage tools without implementation experience.

What you walk away with

  • Design AI data lineage frameworks that meet board and regulator expectations
  • Map data flows across AI systems with audit-grade precision
  • Align technical lineage practices with enterprise risk and compliance standards
  • Communicate lineage maturity to executive and oversight bodies effectively
  • Deploy a tailored implementation playbook to accelerate readiness
