Covers value thesis development, KPI hierarchy design, ROI measurement, benefit tracking, and post-deployment value verification. Requires AITP certification as a prerequisite. Spans the Calibrate, Evaluate, and Learn COMPEL stages.
Why it matters
AITS-VDT addresses the pervasive challenge of demonstrating AI transformation ROI. It validates that professionals can connect AI initiatives to measurable business outcomes and maintain value tracking throughout the transformation lifecycle.
How COMPEL uses it
Maps to the Calibrate stage (value thesis, baseline measurement), Evaluate stage (KPI review, benefit verification), and Learn stage (outcome optimization, value capture). The Value Realization cross-cutting layer is central to this specialization.
