What is the Operationally-Sound Engineering Diversity course about?
Many engineering leaders are expected to deliver on diversity goals but lack the operational frameworks to integrate them into sprint cycles, team structures, and innovation metrics. Without structured implementation paths, programs remain symbolic rather than systemic.
