What is the Risk-Managed AI Use Case Triage course about?

Acquisitive organizations face unique pressures when adopting AI: overlapping systems, cultural integration, due diligence complexity, and inconsistent data governance. Traditional innovation pipelines aren't built to handle the velocity and risk profile of AI use cases. Without a standardized triage method, teams default to ad hoc evaluations that delay decisions, inflate costs, and increase operational risk.
