A practical course for Leaders expected to govern AI
Temi Odesanya
US Top 100 Most Influential AI Leaders
Most AI governance courses teach ideal conditions. This one doesn't.
A handson workshop for professionals expected to govern AI with limited authority, incomplete visibility, and real institutional resistance. It's built on real AI governance challenges, not framework walkthroughs
You have accountability for AI governance. You did not get the authority, budget, or timing required to prevent every bad outcome. The business moves fast. Deployments go live before governance reviews them. Vendors say the model is proprietary. Senior leaders want answers you're still trying to piece together. And you're expected to have defensible governance posture regardless.
This workshop is built for the Monday morning problem - the deployment that's three weeks from go-live, the shadow AI discovered through a customer complaint, the escalation memo you need to send without ending your career.
Temi teaches from active practitioner experience — operating simultaneously under institutional pressure at a large enterprise and building the actual deliverables this course is designed around. The structural spine of this course — high accountability, limited authority — is not a concept drawn from research. It is the operating condition this course was built from.

And Why That Keeps Getting You Dismissed — Explore how AI operations create governance gaps existing risk frameworks don't cover — and how to make AI risk concrete enough to hold a room.

Risk and compliance professionals whose portfolio now includes AI — applying old frameworks and finding the fit is off.
