What is the Information Technology Strategy course about?
IT professionals often excel in technical domains but face ambiguity when scaling systems across compliance, security, and operational boundaries. Without implementation-grade methods, even strong contributors stall when asked to lead architecture decisions, modernization roadmaps, or cross-team integrations. The gap isn't knowledge , it's structured, repeatable practice for real-world complexity.
