About Course

Data & AI initiatives need more than formal approval. Stakeholders and sponsors bring different needs, requirements, expected benefits, and perspectives that shape their commitment to an initiative.

This course shows how to identify the stakeholders and sponsors who influence Data & AI initiatives, understand what drives their support, and recognize how expectations differ across strategic, tactical, and operational levels. It also examines how Data & AI professionals communicate upward, downward, across the organization, and with business stakeholders.

The result is a practical foundation for turning stakeholder insight into committed support throughout the initiative lifecycle. DMF 08 Intro fv.1.0
