What is the Cross-Functional Cross-Border Operations course about?

Even well-resourced programs fail when functional silos meet jurisdictional complexity. Leaders are expected to deliver cohesion without authority, navigate compliance variance, and maintain team alignment across time zones, all while under pressure to show progress. Traditional project management doesn’t scale in these conditions.
