What is the Board-Level Continuous Improvement course about?
Cross-functional initiatives often lack consistent feedback loops to governance bodies. Without structured improvement mechanisms, programs drift from strategic intent, leading to rework, misaligned outcomes, and eroded board confidence, even when execution appears strong.
