What is the COBIT for Senior IT Engineers course about?

You're technically strong, but your input stays siloed. When transformation initiatives launch in finance or supply chain, they don't call you, even though technology governs their success. That gap isn't about skill; it's about language and positioning. Without a framework to bridge technical depth and business architecture, influence remains limited to IT boundaries.
