Stuck responding to compliance checklists instead of shaping strategic AI governance conversations

The situation this course is for

High-performing practitioners are being asked to move beyond policy drafting and into deal-shaping roles, but without clear frameworks, they default to reactive support instead of leading from the front.

Who this is for

Senior communications or governance professional at a global services firm navigating complex regulatory landscapes and client expectations around AI accountability

Who this is not for

Individuals seeking entry-level overview of AI ethics or general compliance hygiene without client-facing application

What you walk away with

  • Identify and position for engagements where ISO 42001 creates differentiation
  • Lead client conversations that start with governance design, not remediation
  • Shape project scope with confidence using tested control patterns
  • Build repeatable narratives that align technical teams, legal, and executives
  • Position yourself as first choice for AI assurance scoping calls
