What is the Cross-Functional Program Management course about?
Even high-performing leaders struggle to maintain momentum when teams are distributed across geographies, systems, and functional silos. Misaligned cadences, inconsistent risk reporting, and unclear decision rights erode velocity. Without a structured approach, multi-site programs default to reactive coordination instead of proactive leadership.
