12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
AI promises efficiency but introduces new operational, reputational, and compliance risks, especially when boards demand accountability before adoption.

The situation this course is for

Teams are under pressure to deliver AI-powered customer service improvements, yet lack structured methods to assess risk exposure, justify controls, or demonstrate oversight to executive leadership. Without a clear governance path, projects stall, lose funding, or get rolled back after pilot failure.

Who this is for

Mid-to-senior level professionals in customer operations, risk governance, compliance, IT, data leadership, or technology strategy who influence or own AI implementation in service delivery.

Who this is not for

Entry-level support staff, pure software developers without operational governance roles, or individuals seeking theoretical AI ethics discussions without implementation focus.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a structured risk assessment model to AI use cases in customer service
  • Design escalation pathways and human-in-the-loop protocols for AI decisions
  • Build board-ready documentation that demonstrates control, compliance, and risk mitigation
  • Validate AI performance against service level, fairness, and safety benchmarks
  • Lead cross-functional implementation with clear accountability and audit trails
