What is the Cross-Functional Customer-Centric Operating course about?

In highly regulated industries, customer-centric innovation often stalls at the intersection of risk, technology, and operations. Teams work in silos, governance feels reactive, and customer feedback loops are too slow to influence real-time decisions. This creates friction, rework, and missed opportunities, even when compliance is technically achieved.
