Enterprise AI Taskforce

Course outline

AITF-301Duration to discuss

Overview

This 5-day in-person Enterprise AI Taskforce Enablement Programme equips a cross-functional taskforce to translate enterprise strategy into governed, secure, and scalable AI execution. The programme moves from strategic alignment and use-case prioritisation (Day 1), into governance and operating model design (Day 2), architecture and secure-by-design implementation (Day 3), data governance and operational monitoring (Day 4), and finally execution planning and institutionalisation (Day 5). Participants will complete structured workshops and simulations to produce a practical set of enterprise-ready artefacts, including AI ambition and readiness outputs, governance and policy drafts, risk and release gate models, architecture and security baselines, monitoring frameworks, and 90-day/12-month roadmaps—enabling consistent decision-making, accountability, and controlled scaling of AI across the organisation.

Course Objectives

On completing this course, the participants will:

  • Assess enterprise AI maturity and readiness gaps (people, process, data, technology, governance).
  • Define AI ambition and align initiatives with corporate strategy and risk appetite.
  • Identify, scope, and prioritise AI use cases using impact, feasibility, and risk criteria.
  • Design AI governance and operating model across the full AI lifecycle (RACI, decision rights, escalation, release gates).
  • Establish implementation foundations: architecture patterns, security baseline (OWASP LLM controls), data governance, and monitoring metrics.

Target Audience

The Enterprise AI Taskforce course target audience includes but is not limited to:

  • IT / Technology Teams
  • Risk & Compliance Functions
  • Enterprise / Solution Architects
  • Business Unit Representatives
  • Executive Sponsors / Decision Makers
