What is the Cloud FinOps and Organizational Health course about?

Even with precise cloud cost tracking, misalignment between technical decisions and team culture creates hidden drag. You're technically ahead, but organizational inertia dulls the edge. Without a framework that bridges FinOps discipline and human systems, progress stalls despite clear data.
