What is the Production-Grade AI Integration Risk for M&A course about?
As AI becomes central to valuation in M&A, teams are expected to integrate models, data pipelines, and governance controls across disparate environments, often with incomplete visibility. Without a production-grade methodology, even successful acquisitions face post-close instability, regulatory scrutiny, and eroded ROI.
