Leaders feel pressure to adopt AI quickly but lack clear frameworks to assess vendor trustworthiness and long-term fit.

The situation this course is for

Mid-market organizations are moving fast on AI adoption, but vendor choices made today can create compliance, operational, and reputational ripple effects tomorrow. Without a consistent assessment method, decisions default to technical teams or procurement cycles, not strategic leadership.

Who this is for

Senior leaders in mid-market companies responsible for technology oversight, risk governance, or digital transformation, especially those evaluating or onboarding AI-powered solutions from third parties.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors without decision-making authority, technical implementers without leadership context, or executives at enterprises with mature AI governance teams.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a standardized risk assessment framework to any AI vendor proposal
  • Identify high-impact red flags in vendor documentation and demos
  • Negotiate contract terms that protect data integrity and model accountability
  • Align AI procurement with existing compliance and risk management standards
  • Lead cross-functional discussions with confidence using a shared risk language
