AI initiatives are outpacing governance, but you don’t need a new title to lead the fix
The situation this course is for
Teams are deploying AI tools without clear policy guardrails, creating compliance blind spots. Yet HR practitioners with deep process knowledge are often excluded from governance design, even though they own the workflows where AI gets implemented.
Who this is for
Senior HR Administrator at a global services firm managing compliance workflows, audit coordination, and people-process integration
Who this is not for
Entry-level administrators, standalone IT auditors, or practitioners seeking promotion into leadership, this course is for solidifying authority from an IC position
What you walk away with
- Define and document AI governance scope within ISO 42001 without requiring leadership approval
- Own the structure of audit evidence packages for AI use cases
- Lead cross-functional alignment on acceptable AI risk thresholds
- Anchor current HR workflows to ISO 42001 control objectives
- Establish documented decision ownership that survives leadership changes
