Disjointed data initiatives that fail under audit or scale
The situation this course is for
Customer data programs often start strong but collapse when compliance requirements hit or teams fail to align. Without a unified, auditable framework, even well-intentioned efforts create technical debt, compliance risk, and lost ROI.
Who this is for
Business and technology professionals leading or contributing to customer data initiatives across compliance, engineering, product, marketing, or IT
Who this is not for
Those seeking only high-level overviews or theoretical frameworks without implementation focus
