Being consulted but not deciding
The situation this course is for
Frequently brought into AI governance discussions but lacking formal ownership of framework decisions, leading to diluted influence and reliance on external teams to close the loop
Who this is for
Senior integration specialist guiding compliance-adjacent workflows, already trusted with sensitive system design but not yet formally empowered to sign off on governance frameworks
Who this is not for
Individuals focused only on technical integration without governance exposure, or those in early-career roles without cross-functional decision touchpoints
What you walk away with
- Own the ISO 42001 control mapping without escalation
- Produce regulator-ready statements of applicability (SoA) independently
- Lead internal alignment sessions on AI governance scope without senior sponsorship
- Document decision rationale that persists beyond team turnover
- Receive peer escalations on AI control gaps as the first point of contact
