Making high-stakes product governance calls without a clear, referenceable framework
The situation this course is for
Product leaders are expected to make consistent, auditable decisions on AI use, but many rely on tribal knowledge or reactive policies. That creates vulnerability when peers or compliance teams push back. Without documented standards, even sound decisions can appear arbitrary.
Who this is for
Senior product and innovation leaders in global consumer brands who influence AI adoption and governance, often without formal compliance mandates
Who this is not for
Junior compliance staff, auditors, or technical implementers focused only on checkbox adherence
What you walk away with

- Reference real-world product governance examples from peer firms in apparel and retail
- Navigate internal challenges with sourced, precedent-based responses
- Map product-level AI use cases directly to ISO 42001 clauses
- Build audit-ready narratives from the first design sprint
