What is the Strategic AI Use Case Triage course about?

AI initiatives often fail not due to technical shortcomings, but because of poor cross-functional coordination. Without a standardized triage process, teams default to siloed evaluations, resulting in duplicated efforts, conflicting roadmaps, and initiatives that lack executive sponsorship or operational feasibility. The absence of a shared decision framework slows innovation and increases delivery risk.
