Being seen as just another project manager instead of the recognized expert on AI governance
The situation this course is for
Even strong program leads can fade into the background when it comes to strategic frameworks. Without clear ownership of emerging standards like ISO 42001, valuable contributions stay under the radar.
Who this is for
Senior program and project managers in consulting and federal services firms who lead cross-functional initiatives and want to own high-impact governance frameworks
Who this is not for
Entry-level coordinators, software developers without governance responsibilities, or practitioners focused only on technical AI implementation without program-level oversight
What you walk away with
- Position yourself as the internal go-to expert for ISO 42001 implementation
- Lead cross-functional teams with confidence using a clear, repeatable framework playbook
- Produce documentation and control mappings that stand up to client and auditor scrutiny
- Gain visibility with senior leaders when AI governance decisions are made
- Own the vendor and partner assessment track for AI compliance

If nothing changes
Without clear ownership of emerging AI governance standards, even strong program managers can be bypassed when strategic decisions are made. Others will define the framework, and you’ll be asked to implement it, rather than lead it.
How this compares to the alternatives
Public training courses cover ISO 42001 generically. This program is tailored to program managers in firms like the firm, with real-world examples, client-facing documentation templates, and strategies for gaining visibility across engagements.
