What is the Cross-Functional Organizational Resilience course about?
Even high-performing teams struggle when incidents span departments and time zones. Without shared protocols, coordination breaks down, decisions stall, and recovery takes longer than it should. The cost isn't just time, it's credibility and momentum.
