What is the Cross-Functional Quality Management course about?
Public-sector programs often rely on multiple departments, contractors, and technology systems. When quality standards aren't harmonized across functions, delays, rework, and compliance gaps follow, even with skilled teams working in good faith. Traditional training focuses on isolated domains, not the connective tissue between them.
