What is the Pragmatic AI Use Case Triage course about?
Mid-market organizations are under pressure to adopt AI, but lack the resources to experiment broadly. Without a disciplined triage process, teams waste time on projects that don’t scale, lack stakeholder buy-in, or deliver negligible ROI. The result is eroded confidence and stalled transformation.
