Struggling to align data governance with fast-moving AI initiatives?
The situation this course is for
Data leaders today are caught between compliance demands and the speed of AI deployment. Policies gather dust while teams bypass governance due to complexity or lack of practical tools. Without a clear, executable framework, governance becomes a bottleneck , not an enabler.
Who this is for
Senior data professionals leading governance, architecture, or data product initiatives in regulated or scale-driven environments. They hold titles like Data Governance Lead, AI Governance Architect, or Data Product Manager, and are accountable for both technical rigor and business impact.
Who this is not for
Entry-level data analysts, developers focused only on coding, or executives seeking only high-level overviews without implementation detail.
What you walk away with
- Define a governance model that scales with AI complexity
- Implement role-based data stewardship that works in practice
- Align data quality, lineage, and policy automation with AI lifecycle stages
- Operationalize ethical AI principles through audit-ready controls
- Deliver governance as a product , not a project
