What is the Cross-Functional AI Use Case Triage course about?
As AI adoption accelerates, senior leaders face a flood of use case proposals from different departments, marketing, operations, HR, IT, each claiming urgency and impact. Without a consistent triage process, organizations risk spreading resources too thin, launching low-value pilots, or delaying high-potential initiatives due to unclear criteria. The lack of a cross-functional evaluation framework leads to confusion, duplication, and strategic misalignment.
