What's Included
One module per ERP transformation phase — Scoping, Build, Go-Live, and Sustain. Each with written lessons grounded in real engagement scenarios.
Every module includes a practical exercise running the actual APEX governance tools on sample ERP scenarios — Charter, Inventory, Validator, Risk Matrix, Data Governance Checker, PIA Generator, GuardRail, and more.
Short quizzes per module to confirm you understand the tools, the decisions, and the evidence — so you can explain them confidently to a client.
Complete the training on your schedule. Lessons average 8 minutes each — fit training between engagements.
The Curriculum
The academy mirrors the ERP transformation lifecycle. Each module teaches you the tools, the decisions, and the evidence for that phase — then checks your understanding so you can explain it to a client.
Establish governance authority, inventory shadow AI, validate vendors, score risk, verify data controls, and file the required Privacy Impact Assessment — before any consultant touches data.
Outcome: Governed, risk-scored engagement with PIA filed
Deploy the AI usage policy, then enforce it — GuardRail blocks sensitive data from reaching public AI on every workstation.
Outcome: Zero sensitive data exfiltration during build
Map every embedded AI agent action to a control posture, verify data residency, and deliver a defensible evidence package — with a signed Go-Live Baseline as the cutover gate.
Outcome: Signed Go-Live Baseline + audit-ready compliance package at cutover
Plan for AI incidents in production, track remediation across every release cycle — structured, accountable, audit-ready.
Outcome: Ongoing governance with full traceability
Why This Training
Clients don't buy tools — they buy confidence. When you can explain how GuardRail enforces a policy, why a PIA matters, and how the 12 phases map to their Workday cutover, governance stops being a hard sell and becomes part of the engagement.
Understand NIST AI RMF, data categories, and enforcement well enough to have a credible governance conversation with a CISO or compliance lead.
Have hands-on experience with every APEX tool before you demo it — you've run the Risk Matrix, generated a PIA, configured GuardRail.
Recognize when a prospect has shadow AI exposure, missing PIAs, or no enforcement layer — and know exactly which APEX tools close the gap.
Map the 12 build phases and 10 sustain tools to the client's ERP lifecycle so governance is sold as part of the work, not bolted on after.
Four modules. Hands-on tool exercises. Knowledge checks. Complete the academy and walk into your next ERP conversation ready to sell governance as part of the work.
