Introduction

As organisations deploy agentic AI systems capable of initiating actions, making decisions, and interacting with other systems, accountability does not disappear — it becomes distributed. The most common governance failures in agentic AI environments arise not from technical malfunction, but from unclear ownership, fragmented decision authority, and poorly defined escalation when autonomous actions create adverse outcomes.

The Agentic AI Governance and Control training course addresses this accountability gap directly. It focuses on how organisations govern agentic AI in practice, clarifying decision rights, ownership boundaries, escalation thresholds, and evidence expectations. The emphasis is on defensible governance rather than system design, ensuring that AI-enabled decisions can withstand internal challenge, audit scrutiny, and regulatory review. Participants develop practical judgement and oversight discipline to manage agentic AI responsibly within real organisational constraints.

Training Methodology

This Agentic AI Governance and Control training course uses scenario-led facilitation supported by realistic governance cases, applied exercises, and structured reflection. Participants work through accountability mapping, escalation decisions, and oversight challenges drawn from real agentic AI use cases to ensure practical and defensible application.

Agentic AI Governance and Control
