AI moves fast. Policy lags behind, especially when teams work in silos.
The situation this course is for
Mid-market organizations are adopting generative AI rapidly, but policy design hasn’t kept pace. Without cross-functional alignment, teams face inconsistent risk controls, duplicated efforts, and audit exposure. The gap isn’t strategy, it’s implementable, role-specific policy frameworks that bridge technical and operational domains.
Who this is for
Business and technology professionals in mid-market organizations (200, 2,000 employees) leading or contributing to AI governance, risk management, compliance, operations, or IT strategy.
Who this is not for
Executives seeking high-level overviews, vendors building AI tools, or engineers focused solely on model development without governance involvement.
What you walk away with
- Design enforceable generative AI policies aligned across functions
- Map policy requirements to operational roles and decision rights
- Integrate compliance guardrails without slowing innovation
- Prepare for internal and external AI audits with documentation templates
- Lead cross-functional alignment sessions using structured facilitation guides
