Even advanced organizations struggle to align AI procurement with enterprise risk, legal, and operational standards, leading to stalled pilots, compliance gaps, and integration debt.

The situation this course is for

AI vendors move fast, but procurement cycles don’t. Legal teams lack AI-specific playbooks. Security reviews lag. Compliance frameworks aren’t yet adapted. The result? High-potential AI projects stall in due diligence, or worse, get deployed without controls.

Who this is for

Technology leaders, procurement strategists, risk officers, and compliance leads in established enterprises with annual AI spend exceeding $500K and a need for governed, repeatable acquisition frameworks.

Who this is not for

Startups building AI-native products, individual contributors without procurement authority, or teams focused solely on open-source model experimentation.

What you walk away with

  • Design AI procurement workflows that satisfy legal, risk, and operational stakeholders
  • Evaluate vendors using a structured, repeatable due diligence framework
  • Integrate AI-specific clauses into contracts to protect IP, liability, and performance expectations
  • Align procurement cycles with agile development timelines without sacrificing control
  • Build internal playbooks for model handover, monitoring, and decommissioning
