What is the Board-Level Change Management course about?

Boards increasingly demand innovation velocity, but traditional governance models slow down experimentation. Leaders are caught between pressure to deliver breakthroughs and rigid oversight structures not built for agile progress. Without a shared language and framework, both sides grow frustrated, innovation teams feel micromanaged, while leadership questions ROI and risk exposure.
