What is the Audit-Tested Supply-Chain Modernization course about?
When organizations merge, supply-chain functions inherit disparate systems, compliance postures, and risk thresholds. Without a structured approach, teams waste months reconciling controls, duplicating audits, and delaying value. Leadership expects seamless integration, but practitioners lack tested blueprints to align speed with compliance.
