What is the Pragmatic AI Strategy Roadmapping course about?
Leaders want AI impact now, but most strategies remain theoretical, misaligned, or overcomplicated. Without a pragmatic roadmap, teams waste cycles on pilots that don’t scale, miss cross-functional dependencies, or fail to demonstrate value early. The result is eroded trust, stalled budgets, and lost momentum.
