Federated Model (Organizational)
A federated organizational model distributes AI capability across business units with central coordination, balancing local autonomy with enterprise consistency.
What this means in practice
Each unit has domain-specific AI practitioners while the center provides infrastructure, standards, and knowledge sharing. For organizations scaling AI, it prevents both centralization bottlenecks and decentralization fragmentation. In COMPEL, it is one of three organizational patterns in Module 4.4.
