What is the Cross-Functional Operational Transparency course about?
In fast-moving organizations, compliance risks emerge from misalignment, not malice. Without shared visibility into engineering pipelines, financial controls, or data flows, officers default to audits and remediation, after the fact. The gap isn't policy, it's operational transparency across functions.
