Why do YOU need this course?
Every organisation is pursuing AI—and fast—but are they truly set up to succeed at it? Or are they at risk of their AI falling short of expectations—or even failing altogether? Boards are pushing hard, businesses are diving in, technology teams are experimenting, pilots are in place.
But what is MISSING from their AI?
Most organisations have not first properly defined their end-to-end AI roadmap and put the right foundations in place, especially regarding their DATA.
Sound data management and comprehensive governance are the top factors for success when it comes to AI. Most data is not ready for AI production. So how do you know if you can trust your data?
This course provides guidance for developing an accurate data roadmap that is underpinned by AI-ready data, architecture and technology. In addition, this course will outline the essential elements of change management, and identify the new skills for your data, technology and leadership teams as well as how to integrate their respective capabilities to achieve your organisation’s AI objectives.
Whether you are a senior executive, a data engineer, or a data practitioner, this course provides you with the critical update for understanding and navigating the paradigm shift brought on by the new capabilities of generative and agentic AI. The course provides neutral guidance for technology and tooling selection with respect to the various layers of your standard and AI-driven technology stacks.
What You’ll Learn: The AI Optimisation Roadmap
The AI Optimisation Masterclass spans some of today’s most pressing questions, including how to align business and technology teams, how to advance from endless pilots to actual production, and how to balance the rapid evolution of AI through achieving ROI, scalability, and risk reduction.
- Building a Modern AI Data Layer: leveraging EDM Association’s global, industry-defined best practice frameworks and standards, including DCAM and CDMC, to identify data management gaps, implement a modern data catalogue for shared language, metadata management and business context, as well as data and technology architecture and tools
- Developing the AI Semantic Layer: leveraging our industry best practices from EDMA’s Knowledge Graph course and from our global industry ontologies (e.g., FIBO and IDMP), you will learn how to design and develop a semantic layer that will provide your organisation with shared business meaning. In addition, you will learn how to apply the EDMA’s AI accelerators based on best practices we have defined in semantics, semantic models, knowledge graphs, ontologies, data automation and controls, and delivering reusable, scalable data products – plus the role of each of these and where to start
- Accelerating AI with Graph Integration: identifying different types of graph databases that are enterprise-ready; integrating data management, graph, semantics and LLMs; scaling modern data management for AI, and the specific up-skilling needed to keep the human in the loop
This globally leading roadmap provides the skills and capabilities needed to build a comprehensive, trusted data program to achieve an AI-ready, accurate, AI user layer, with analytics, business intelligence and machine-readable data enabled to develop accurate LLMs, automations and AI agents that are optimised for each defined business use case. Furthermore, your roadmap will reinforce the skills your data management function needs to deploy quickly yet accurately for a scalable strategy that meets business expectations and appropriate AI governance.
Who Should Attend, Course Format and Our Expert Instructor
This live virtual course is offered in your choice of one or two 4-hour sessions across two days:
- Day 1: suitable for ALL professionals – from board members and senior executives to data and AI practitioners.
> Covers what is required to design, architect and execute an end-to-end AI and agentic data platform: the new roles and skills business, data and technology teams must integrate, and the data and technology layers (knowledge graphs, semantic models, machine-readable data) that produce accurate, context-aware AI. - Day 2: continued, deeper instruction tailored for data and AI practitioners
> Live demos of how to develop and integrate the Day 1 designs from architecture down to tooling. Covers how GCP, AWS and Azure each handle the data layer for AI optimisation; how to manage cost blow-outs, vendor lock-in and architectural flexibility; and live case studies from European organisations — including roadmap accelerators and common mistakes to avoid. - Interactive format with case discussions and Q&A
- Training delivered by Shaun Rolls, EDM Association Senior Advisor, Certified Trainer for AI Optimisation Masterclass, DCAM V3, CDMC, and Knowledge Graph
Please note that previous training or certification in our DCAM and CDMC best practice frameworks is not a prerequisite.
