What is the Cross-Functional Legacy Modernization course about?
Modernization initiatives often fail because compliance is engaged too late or treated as a checklist. Meanwhile, technical teams move fast, regulators demand traceability, and executives expect speed without risk. Without a structured way to lead across functions, even experienced officers are sidelined in critical architecture conversations.
