AI adoption is accelerating, but most mid-market organizations lack clear, enforceable policies to govern its use, creating risk and missed opportunity.

The situation this course is for

Teams are deploying generative AI tools in silos, often without alignment on ethics, data handling, accountability, or compliance. Without tailored policies, organizations face inconsistent outcomes, reputational exposure, and inefficiencies. The challenge isn't awareness, it's implementation.

Who this is for

Business operations leads, compliance officers, technology managers, and strategy advisors in mid-market organizations (200, 2,000 employees) who influence AI adoption and governance.

Who this is not for

Executives seeking high-level AI overviews, vendors selling AI tools, or individuals looking for technical prompt engineering training.

What you walk away with

  • Design enforceable generative AI usage policies aligned with operational realities
  • Map AI use cases to compliance requirements across jurisdictions
  • Integrate policy with existing risk, data governance, and change management frameworks
  • Lead cross-functional AI governance rollouts with stakeholder alignment
  • Build internal capacity for ongoing policy iteration and audit readiness
