What is the Cross-Functional Quality Management course about?
As organizations scale, quality is often reactive, fragmented, or confined to single departments. This creates rework, compliance exposure, and delayed time-to-market. The challenge isn’t standards, it’s coordination across engineering, operations, product, and risk functions under pressure to deliver quickly.
