What is the Strategic Cost Optimization for High-Velocity course about?

In fast-moving information environments, rising operational noise makes it harder to distinguish essential from expendable processes. Traditional cost-cutting erodes quality, but doing nothing risks margin compression. The challenge is not reducing spend , it's increasing signal per dollar.
