What is the Mid-Market AI Negotiation for Procurement course about?

As AI adoption accelerates, procurement cycles grow more complex. Audit teams are brought in late, forced to assess black-box tools with unclear data practices, weak SLAs, and compliance gaps. Without negotiation fluency, auditors become bottlenecks, not enablers. The result: delayed projects, costly rework, and misaligned vendor contracts that expose the organization.
