What is the Board-Level Cost Optimization for Multi-Site course about?
Even well-designed cost optimization efforts collapse under the weight of decentralized execution. Without a unified framework connecting site-level actions to board-level outcomes, savings remain invisible, trust erodes, and strategic momentum stalls. The gap isn't effort, it's architecture.
