What is the Audit-Tested Automation-at-Scale Programs course about?
Many automation programs start strong but collapse under compliance pressure, technical debt, or misalignment with risk frameworks. Teams end up rebuilding, reworking, or abandoning projects after significant investment. The gap isn’t vision, it’s implementation discipline.
