What You’ll Learn
The importance of a shared language for AI optimization, leveraging EDM Association’s global industry best practice frameworks and standards towards trusted and independent AI standards.
- How to develop a clear AI-ready data roadmap to guide your organization to accurate, reliable, and explainable AI that your executive AI board can trust, including:
- Building a Modern AI Data Layer: Adopting EDM Association’s global, industry-defined best practice frameworks and standards, including DCAM (Data Management Capability Assessment Model) and CDMC (Cloud Data Management Capabilities)
- Developing the AI Semantic Layer: Leveraging knowledge graph and our global industry ontologies (e.g., FIBO and IDMP)to design and develop a semantic layer that will provide your organization with shared business meaning
- Accelerating AI with Graph Integration: Identify different types of graph databases that are enterprise-ready and integrate data management, graph, semantics and LLMs
- Wide-scale up-skilling of the data community towards modern data management, automation, best practices, and faster design-to-deploy cadence – from silo to cross-functional data management teams.
- A vendor-independent, product-neutral look at the suite of AI-specific technology and tool selection and adoption, supporting the upgrade from legacy to new data management tooling and AI readiness.
- Shift to “machine-readable” data, semantics and meaning.
- Identify the specific upskilling needed to keep the “human in the loop.”
“Overall, I found the masterclass to be well-structured and insightful. The strongest aspect of the course is its clear positioning that AI success is fundamentally driven by data readiness, governance, and architecture, rather than models alone…The holistic coverage across data, technology, and organisational change also provided a balanced perspective suitable for both executive and practitioner audiences.”
