ABOUT THE AUTHOR
This framework was developed by Caroline Riedel. Over a 30+ year career, she has held director-level, plant management, quality and operations roles, including Director of Quality, Plant Manager, Global Corporate Continuous Improvement Manager, and Quality Manager, with a track record of overseeing quality excellence and compliance for multiple facilities simultaneously. As a certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Lean Champion and Lead Auditor, she has spent decades coaching, mentoring, and training professionals in Six Sigma, Lean, critical thinking, and problem solving. Her career has centered on helping organizations transition from a culture based on reacting to problems to a culture focused on preventing problems. This workshop bridges her multi-decade traditional quality discipline with the unique quality risks introduced when AI is integrated with human teams and workflows.
About the course
WHY THIS WORKSHOP EXISTS Traditional quality management systems assume operational stability. However, integrating AI tools into daily business operations introduces invisible, cascading inconsistencies. Because human teams rarely start from raw data and instead rely on early AI summaries, initial AI inaccuracies narrow attention and propagate silently through the entire decision chain. When real operational behavior diverges from documented processes, it creates a dangerous inspection gap. This workshop exists to close that gap and give you absolute visibility over your automated operations. By completing this self-paced virtual workshop, you will master the five core pillars of hybrid workflow governance: 1. HYBRID HUMAN AND AI DECISION QUALITY: Map the sequential decision chain and identify precise AI influence points so your human team can successfully catch and correct early AI mistakes. 2. AI WORKFLOW GOVERNANCE AND VALIDATION: Learn why testing in "ideal" scenarios fails, and how to validate your automated workflows under messy, real-world operational conditions. 3. QUALITY FOR NO-CODE AND LOW-CODE AI BUILDS: Bridge the testing and oversight gap by establishing governance for the unmonitored "shadow logic" created by non-technical teams. 4. DATA PIPELINE QUALITY: Understand how minor data inconsistencies or formatting shifts ripple through workflows and create massive, silent failures in downstream AI decisions. 5. QUALITY IN HIGH-AMBIGUITY ENVIRONMENTS: Set clear structural boundaries, acceptable outcome ranges, and explicit human override rules for borderline cases with no single correct answer. THE STARTER GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK: You will walk away with an actionable, 5-step operational validation tool (Identify Influence, Find Steps That Fail, Evaluate Data Conditions, Detect Drift, and Map Risk Priority) to deploy in your department immediately. WHO IT IS FOR This framework is built strictly for non-technical Directors, Managers, and Team Leads in: ** Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control ** Operations and Process Engineering ** Customer Support and Service Delivery ** Risk Management, Compliance, and Governance Note: You do not need a background in data science, programming, or software engineering to implement these controls. ONE REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE Case Study: How an Early AI Error Cascades Through a System To understand the stakes of a hybrid decision failure, look at a common enterprise workflow gap. A customer reports a dead car navigation display screen. An intake AI transcription tool drops a key detail, inaccurately summarizing the issue as "navigation slow to load." The system automatically tags this as a low-urgency software issue. Because downstream automated routing reinforces the first mistake, the case is sent to the software support team instead of the physical repair team. While the wrong team runs useless remote software resets, the case remains stuck due to data pipeline gaps, creating massive operational delays and destroying the customer experience. This workshop dissects exactly how to build structural guardrails to block these cascading errors.
