What is the Architecture and Business Strategy Execution course about?

Too often, strategic initiatives stall because technical leadership operates in isolation. Architects design elegant systems that misalign with business priorities, while executives push roadmaps that ignore technical debt and scalability. The result? Wasted investment, delayed outcomes, and erosion of trust across functions. Without a shared framework, even the most capable teams struggle to deliver coherent value.
