What is the Scalable AI Center-of-Excellence Building course about?
AI projects in distributed environments often lack alignment between strategy, execution, and governance. Without a centralized yet flexible structure, teams struggle to share learnings, maintain standards, or scale successes. This results in isolated pilots, inconsistent compliance, and leadership skepticism about long-term value.
