The situation this course is for

Mid-to-senior level business and technology professionals leading cross-functional teams, driving digital initiatives, or shaping strategic direction in complex environments.
Who this is not for
Individual contributors not in leadership roles, entry-level staff, or professionals focused solely on technical execution without strategic oversight.
