COBIT® 2019 for Digital Transformation & AI Governance
Governing Digital Innovation, Artificial Intelligence, and Emerging Technologies for Sustainable Enterprise Value
Why Choose COBIT® 2019 for Digital Transformation & AI Governance Training Course?
COBIT® 2019 for Digital Transformation & AI Governance Training Course is designed for organizations facing the fast-paced changes brought by AI, automation, cloud computing, and intelligent platforms. These technologies create immense opportunities, but they also introduce new governance challenges such as ethical risks, data misuse, algorithmic bias, regulatory uncertainty, cybersecurity exposure, and accountability gaps.
Many digital transformation initiatives fail not due to technical limitations but because of weak governance, poor alignment with business strategy, unclear decision rights, and inadequate oversight of emerging technologies. As AI becomes a core part of decision-making, organizations need governance structures that enable innovation while ensuring control, transparency, and accountability.
This training course focuses on applying COBIT 2019 principles, objectives, and governance mechanisms to digital transformation and AI initiatives. Participants will learn how to build governance models that support innovation while managing risk, integrating AI governance into enterprise GRC frameworks, and providing executive-level oversight. The course bridges the gap between technology innovation and enterprise governance, empowering leaders to govern digital and AI transformation with strategic clarity and confidence.
