Course Overview
The course, Building your AI Center of Excellence on Google Cloud, is a strategic program designed to help organizations move from fragmented, siloed innovation to a structured, enterprise-wide AI strategy. It focuses on the creation of an AI Center of Excellence (CoE)—a cross-functional unit that centralizes expertise and governance to accelerate AI value. The curriculum is built around four foundational pillars: Strategy, Structure, Governance, and Scale.
Participants will learn through a combination of case studies and practical demonstrations of Google Cloud tools like Gemini Enterprise. By the end of the 3-hour session, leaders will have a strategic roadmap for building an AI CoE that aligns with their organizational maturity.
