What is the Enterprise-Class Conflicts Management course about?

In complex organizations, undetected conflicts erode decision quality, delay approvals, and trigger reactive board interventions. Traditional compliance checklists don’t prevent these, they only surface after damage is done. The gap? A structured, repeatable program that anticipates, maps, and manages conflicts before they impact governance outcomes.
