Hand-built implementation playbook
12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Stalled AI governance rollouts due to fragmented ownership and unclear standards.
The situation this course is for
Teams default to reactive compliance, duplicating effort and delaying deployment. Without a shared framework, every review restarts from zero.
Who this is for
Senior AI governance practitioner in a data and AI platform company, focused on scalable control and cross-functional alignment.
Who this is not for
Entry-level compliance staff, auditors without implementation responsibility, or engineers focused only on model performance without governance scope.
What you walk away with
- Build a fully mapped ISO 42001 control framework tailored to your organization's AI use cases
- Produce an audit-ready Statement of Applicability (SoA) with justification for each control
- Lead vendor assessments using ISO 42001 as the baseline for selection and oversight
- Document governance playbooks that persist beyond team changes and leadership cycles
- Establish clear escalation thresholds so only exceptions rise to leadership
