What is the Board-Level Crisis Decision Frameworks course about?

Technical leaders often have deep operational insight but lack structured frameworks to translate crisis dynamics into board-level decisions. This gap leads to delayed responses, misaligned priorities, and eroded governance trust, especially in regulated or fast-scaling environments.
