What you'll walk out with
Specific outcomes from this course — no fluff.
- Make AI a portfolio you manage — not pilots you accumulate
- Build healthy pyramid shape — 10-15 pilots · 3-5 scaled · 1-2 embedded (most enterprises have inverted funnels)
- Run stage-gate discipline with explicit kill criteria — 60-80% pilot-to-scale kill rate is healthy
- 4 vendor contract pillars — training data rights · update transparency · sunset · liability allocation
- Manage model lifecycle with 4 retraining triggers + a single source-of-truth registry
- Run the ops handoff with 4 artifacts (runbook · model card · dashboard · escalation tree) and a shadow period
- 5 PMO roles + honest sizing — underfunding the PMO is the single most common false economy
- 90-day bootstrap roadmap with 4 trust trip-wires and an interactive Markdown builder for your CIO

The PMO landscape
Delivery is the gap between AI pilots and value · 3 PMO failure modes (no stage-gates · no lifecycle · no ops handoff).
Portfolio shape
3 phases (pilot · scale · embed) · the pyramid pattern · funnel discipline · 20-30% pilot-to-scale conversion.
Stage-gating discipline
3 gates · 3 pilot kill criteria · the political reality · 60-80% kill rate at pilot gate is healthy.
Vendor management for AI
4 contract pillars (training data · updates · sunset · liability) · 3 vendor failure modes · 3 patterns that work.
Model lifecycle management
4 lifecycle stages · 4 retraining triggers · the model registry as single source of truth.
Ops handoff pattern
The handoff problem · 4 artifacts (runbook · model card · dashboard · escalation tree) · 3 anti-patterns.
Team structure + roles
5 PMO roles · 3 design patterns · honest sizing · underfunding-PMO is false economy.
Making it stick: your AI PMO roadmap
90-day PMO bootstrap · 4 trust trip-wires · interactive Markdown builder.
