What is the Pragmatic AI Use Case Triage course about?
Even with strong technical capability, organizations struggle to scale AI because they lack a consistent framework for evaluating which use cases to prioritize, who owns them, and what success looks like across functions. This leads to pilot purgatory, duplicated effort, and erosion of stakeholder trust.
