What is the Information Technology Strategy course about?
Technology environments are more interconnected than ever, yet decision-making remains siloed. Architecture drifts, compliance gaps emerge, and transformation initiatives stall due to misalignment between strategy and implementation. Even experienced professionals struggle to maintain coherence across evolving platforms, regulatory demands, and business expectations, all without a unified operating model.
