Throughout the course, students will be exposed to different AI capabilities and frameworks for the adoption of relevant technologies. At the start of the course, students will be assigned to teams and each team will select an organization to develop an Enterprise AI Strategy and implementation plan. Suggestions for the case will be provided by the instructor that teams can choose from or teams can select their own scenario to work on upon the instructor's approval. The Enterprise AI Strategy and implementation plan document must address the following components:

Problem statement

The proposed AI solution $($a technical description$)$

The high$-$level implementation plan:

Proposed solutions for building an AI$-$ready culture

A list of required technical stakeholders to staff the AI initiative. This should include each stakeholder's specific roles and responsibilities. $$Effective alternatives to hire AI talent

AI solution justification using the AI Strategy Framework

Technical prerequisites: An evaluation to determine whether the identified problem needs the proposed AI solution.

An outline of the data acquisition process

Alternative approaches to implement the proposed AI solution $($build vs$.$ buy$)$ and assessing each using a cost$-$benefit analysis

Estimated schedule and budget summary

Risks, challenges, and relevant mitigation strategies
