Making governance calls that stick in cross-functional environments
The situation this course is for
AI governance decisions often get challenged not because they’re wrong, but because the reasoning isn’t grounded in accepted frameworks or specific examples. Practitioners lose influence when they can’t quickly reference precedent or standard-aligned logic.
Who this is for
Product Adoption Practitioner in enterprise tech, focused on driving structured AI governance adoption with internal credibility and cross-functional alignment
Who this is not for
Those seeking high-level overviews of AI ethics or non-technical AI awareness trainings
What you walk away with
- Articulate the purpose and structure of each NIST AI RMF function using official sources and implementation examples
- Map real-world product adoption decisions to specific subcategories in Trustworthy AI, Risk Assessment, and Governance
- Reference documented trade-offs from peer organizations when justifying design choices
- Respond to peer challenges with sourced examples from compliant deployments
- Build self-standing governance artefacts that survive leadership changes and team reorgs
