Spending cycles explaining compliance instead of driving execution?
The situation this course is for
Project managers in global IT services often inherit governance tasks without clear ownership or methodology. They bridge delivery and audit, yet lack a structured approach to own the framework itself.
Who this is for
Project Manager in a global IT services firm, managing delivery of technology solutions with compliance implications
Who this is not for
Entry-level coordinators or auditors focused only on post-implementation review
What you walk away with
- Own end-to-end ISO 42001 implementation planning and execution
- Produce a complete Statement of Applicability with justified inclusions and exclusions
- Map AI management controls to project timelines and resource plans
- Lead cross-functional alignment between legal, risk, and delivery teams
- Deliver audit-ready documentation packages on schedule
