What is the Board-Level AI Strategy Roadmapping course about?

AI initiatives often fail to gain board-level traction because they lack structured roadmaps that speak to governance, risk appetite, and strategic alignment. In acquisitive organizations, this gap is amplified by integration complexity, data lineage challenges, and conflicting technology stacks. Leaders need a repeatable framework to position AI as a strategic asset, not just a technical project.
