What is the Cross-Functional Resilience for Distributed course about?

Even with strong intentions, distributed teams often fall into reactive patterns. Without structured cross-functional frameworks, collaboration becomes fragile under pressure, leading to delays, misalignment, and erosion of trust. The gap isn't knowledge, it's actionable, role-specific implementation.
