What is the Strategic AI Use Case Triage course about?

Professionals face mounting pressure to deliver AI value while operating within tightening regulatory and reputational guardrails. Without a formal triage system, promising use cases stall in debate, resources scatter across low-impact pilots, and leadership loses confidence in AI initiatives. The lack of a shared, objective evaluation framework turns prioritization into politics, not strategy.
