12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Well-intentioned AI policies fail when they don’t account for real-world team distribution, tool fragmentation, and audit demands.

The situation this course is for

Organizations are adopting generative AI rapidly, but most policies are either too vague to enforce or too rigid to scale across time zones, functions, and regulatory domains. Leaders are left bridging gaps between compliance goals and day-to-day workflows, often retrofitting rules after incidents occur. Without an operational lens, even strong governance frameworks become shelfware.

Who this is for

Mid-to-senior level professionals in technology, compliance, risk, or operations who are tasked with designing, implementing, or auditing generative AI use across geographically distributed teams. They value precision, scalability, and auditability in policy design.

Who this is not for

This course is not for executives seeking high-level AI strategy overviews, nor for individual contributors using AI tools in isolation without governance responsibilities.

What you walk away with

  • Design generative AI policies that are enforceable across time zones, systems, and regulatory environments
  • Implement risk-tiered controls based on data sensitivity and use case criticality
  • Integrate policy checks directly into development, procurement, and content workflows
  • Prepare for internal and external audits with standardized documentation and evidence trails
  • Lead cross-functional alignment between legal, security, engineering, and business units on AI governance
