In this program, we decided to take a different approach than traditional product certifications, and instead of building a product-centric certification,
we decided to build a process-centric certification with specific guiding principles:
1. Using a single use case/real world scenario as the foundation to work through what it takes to build an end to end AI solution
2. Leveraging Design thinking as a framework to work through the translation of business goals into AI technical implementations
3. Bringing together different capabilities such as Machine Learning, Optimization, and specific narrow-AI functionality
4. Leveraging python as the tool of choice for building AI models, and bringing in Watson Studio where it adds value on top of Python and other open source tools
