Course Overview

Most organisations now hold more data about retrieval-augmented generation applications than they can actually act on. Boards are asking for measurable returns from this aspect of digital and data-driven work, not demonstrations. Improvement in the wider digital and data-driven work agenda stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. This programme builds retrieval-augmented generation applications from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this aspect of digital and data-driven work, in large organisations and small ones alike. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a delivery roadmap for this part of digital and data-driven work as they go. Applied research in digital and data-driven work consistently shows that early structure around retrieval-augmented generation applications reduces downstream rework. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the wider digital and data-driven work agenda in an order their organisation can absorb. The programme closes with an action plan for the digital and data-driven work discipline that each participant writes for their own organisation.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Recognise early indicators that retrieval-augmented generation applications is drifting away from its intended design.

02

Quantify the running cost of retrieval-augmented generation applications — compute, licensing, and the people who keep it alive.

03

Map the regulatory obligations that apply to retrieval-augmented generation applications in each market of operation.

04

Select indicators that show whether retrieval-augmented generation applications is improving, and reject those that only look useful.

05

Set the minimum documentation for retrieval-augmented generation applications that is genuinely necessary, and stop there.

06

Specify the data retrieval-augmented generation applications depends on, where it originates and who is accountable for its quality.

07

Establish version control and rollback for every component of retrieval-augmented generation applications that reaches production.
