What is the Cross-Functional AI Strategy Roadmapping course about?
AI initiatives often stall not because of technology gaps, but due to fractured ownership, unclear cross-functional accountability, and roadmaps built in isolation. Professionals are expected to lead without a shared language or governance framework, especially when teams span regions and disciplines.
