What is the Operationally-Sound AI Integration Risk course about?

Multi-site programs amplify complexity in M&A integrations. When AI systems enter the mix, inconsistent governance, data silos, and operational misalignment can derail timelines and inflate risk. Traditional integration checklists don’t address AI-specific dependencies, leaving teams to improvise under pressure.
