Feeling sidelined when AI governance decisions are made without your input
The situation this course is for
Project managers often coordinate critical pieces of compliance and governance work but aren't invited into the room where standards are interpreted or applied. Their contributions remain operational rather than strategic, even when they hold the clearest view of implementation realities.
Who this is for
Project leaders in global services firms who coordinate cross-functional delivery of compliance-critical initiatives and want their expertise to shape technical decisions
Who this is not for
Executives delegating governance entirely, individual contributors without cross-team coordination responsibilities, or consultants focused only on audit pass/fail outcomes
What you walk away with
- Lead ISO 42001 assessments with confidence and structured documentation
- Anticipate auditor expectations and prepare evidence proactively
- Influence vendor selection by evaluating alignment with ISO 42001 controls
- Guide technical teams using clear, standard-backed rationale during design reviews
- Create reusable playbooks that survive team turnover and scale across engagements
