What is the Cross-Functional Strategic Planning course about?
Compliance, engineering, legal, and operations often work from different playbooks, leading to delayed launches, audit findings, and strategic drift. Even strong individual contributors struggle to bridge gaps when frameworks are siloed or abstract. The cost isn't just time or budget, it's lost credibility and missed market windows.
