Escalating routine framework decisions slows client momentum and undermines ownership
The situation this course is for
High-performing leaders often stall at the final approval layer, forced to route decisions upward even when precedent exists. This delays client deliverables and dilutes impact.
Who this is for

Who this is not for
Individuals focused on technical implementation without decision-making scope or those not involved in service management standards
