What is the Board-Level AI Use Case Triage course about?
Leaders in innovation-first organizations often face a flood of AI proposals without a systematic way to assess which ones deserve board attention. Without a rigorous triage process, teams risk investing in flashy but low-impact projects, or worse, overlook transformative opportunities buried in early-stage concepts. The cost isn't just wasted budget, it's eroded trust in AI governance.
