What is the Cross-Functional AI Strategy Roadmapping course about?

Acquisitive organizations frequently inherit disparate AI capabilities with no unified roadmap. Teams default to siloed assessments, leading to prolonged integration cycles, redundant investments, and missed cross-sell opportunities. Without a shared framework, technical leaders struggle to align with business timelines, and strategy remains reactive rather than proactive.
