What is the Production-Grade Automation-at-Scale Programs course about?
High-potential automation programs often fail to scale because they aren't built with governance, auditability, and risk tolerance as core requirements. This creates friction between innovation teams and executive oversight, leading to delayed rollouts, revoked permissions, or unplanned rework.
