Most Data & AI initiatives don't fail because of technology — they fail because they lack clarity: no shared understanding of how enterprise data actually works, no clear view of complexity and common failure patterns, and no reliable way to assess maturity and know what is needed to advance to the next stage. This course builds that clarity and provides a practical framework for building initiatives that succeed.
