About Course

Operational professionals rarely complete Data & AI work in isolation.

A task may depend on a tactical manager setting a priority, a colleague providing business input, or another specialist resolving a blocker.

This course develops the communication skills needed in those situations. Participants learn how to make daily Data & AI work understandable, ask clearly for the support they need, turn concerns into practical next actions, and maintain two-way communication through simple feedback loops.

The course combines practical examples, XYZ Company cases, and four templates that participants can apply directly to their own work. The goal and outcomes explicitly focus on gaining support, participation, and feedback from tactical managers and same-level colleagues. DMF 10 Intro fv.1.1(1)

Course Content

Daily Data Work
Daily Data & AI initiatives depend on operational tasks such as metadata updates, data-quality checks, issue logging, report validation, and evidence collection. This topic shows how to translate that work into language colleagues can relate to their own responsibilities. The focus is on connecting each task with its reason and practical result.

Required Support
Daily work often depends on something another person needs to provide: business input, a decision, a review, access, or another specific action. This topic separates direct requests from situations that require tactical management involvement and shows how to make the required contribution and timing explicit.

Feedback to Concerns
Questions and concerns reveal what may prevent a colleague from contributing effectively. This topic distinguishes concerns related to understanding, workload, tools, and ownership, and connects each type with the follow-up needed to keep the work moving.

Active Communication
Questions, blockers, and operational observations continue to come up as Data & AI work is underway. This topic focuses on keeping communication open, making feedback easy to provide, and showing colleagues what happens after they raise an issue.
