What is the Board-Level Cross-Functional Program course about?
Even well-resourced programs fail when cross-functional dependencies aren’t governed strategically. Silos form, reporting lacks coherence, and escalation paths blur, leading to missed milestones and diluted accountability. The gap isn’t effort; it’s a lack of unified program architecture that speaks to both operations and the boardroom.
