Aligned with the AIGP certification program, AI Governance Professional Training is for professionals tasked with implementing AI governance and risk management in their organizations.

Module 2: AI impacts on people and responsible AI principles Outlines the core risks and harms posed by AI systems, the characteristics of trustworthy AI systems, and the principles essential to responsible and ethical AI. Module 3: AI development life cycle Describes the AI development life cycle and the broad context in which AI risks are managed. Module 4: Implementing responsible AI governance and risk management Explains how major AI stakeholders collaborate in a layered approach to manage AI risks while acknowledging AI systems' potential societal benefits. Module 5: Implementing AI projects and systems Outlines mapping, planning and scoping AI projects, testing and validating AI systems during development, and managing and monitoring AI systems after deployment. Module 6: Current laws that apply to AI systems Surveys the existing laws that govern the use of AI, outlines key GDPR intersections, and provides awareness of liability reform. Module 7: Existing and emerging AI laws and standards Describes global AI-specific laws and the major frameworks and standards that exemplify how AI systems can be responsibly governed. Module 8: Ongoing AI issues and concerns Presents current discussions and ideas about AI governance, including awareness of legal issues, user concerns, and AI auditing and accountability issues.

Managing Complex Projects: In-House Training As knowledge and technology expand exponentially, organizations are finding that the tools, processes, and methods used to select, plan, and manage their projects are insufficient for the challenges posed by them. The goal of this course is to provide participants with a working knowledge of project complexities and a framework for managing the ambiguities involved in today's fast-changing, competitive, and technology-based environment As knowledge and technology expand exponentially, organizations are finding that the tools, processes, and methods used to select, plan, and manage their projects are insufficient for the challenges posed by them. Complex projects don't necessarily follow the rules of traditional projects - in many instances the projects' end-products, and the methods by which they will be produced, are not easily defined. Stakeholder diversity and geographical dispersion contribute to the difficulties project managers face in their efforts to gain acceptance of project goals, objectives, and changes. Additionally, hierarchic leadership styles, traditional lifecycle approaches, and traditional project manager competencies may no longer maximize the efficiencies that need to be realized on complex projects. The goal of this course is to provide participants with a working knowledge of project complexities and a framework for managing the ambiguities involved in today's fast-changing, competitive, and technology-based environments. What you Will Learn The learning objectives of this workshop are to enable participants to: Appreciate complexity and its impact on the management of projects Describe the differences among traditional, complicated, and complex projects Explain the effects of complexity on the PMBOK® Guide's process groups Apply a high-level model in the management of real- world projects Complexity and Projects Some characteristics of complex systems Important models/characteristics of complex projects Major players in project complexity Landscapes and project typologies A supplemental framework for complex projects Framing Framing overview Potential pitfalls in framing complex projects Possible solutions Inception Centrality of risk management PM competencies, selection Stakeholder identification, analysis Blueprint Collaborative planning Stakeholder engagements Alternative methodologies/life cycles Collaborative scheduling Procurement management Oversight, Navigation, and Adjustment Leadership and the project team Stakeholder management Networks Close and Continuous Improvement Transition/support Post-project evaluations Rewards/Recognition
