HR leaders are being asked to do more with less, especially in regulated environments where talent strategy must align with compliance outcomes.

The situation this course is for

Without a structured governance model, HR risks being reactive, brought in late, asked to comply rather than co-lead. The expectation is shifting, but the tools haven’t kept up.

Who this is for

Senior Human Resources Specialist in a federal defense contracting environment, responsible for compliance-aligned talent strategy and policy execution.

Who this is not for

Entry-level HR coordinators or generalists without exposure to compliance audits, governance frameworks, or regulatory reporting cycles.

What you walk away with

  • Lead HR’s contribution to enterprise governance using COBIT-aligned playbooks
  • Produce audit-ready documentation that reflects HR’s strategic input
  • Shape workforce resilience planning with structured governance workflows
  • Collaborate with IT and compliance teams using shared governance language
  • Position HR as a proactive contributor to risk and controls frameworks
