What is the Enterprise-Class Talent Strategy course about?
Even well-funded programs fail when roles are ambiguous, skills are mismatched, and accountability is diffuse. Traditional HR practices don't address the operational complexity of cross-functional delivery in regulated or technology-intensive environments. The gap between strategic intent and team composition creates delays, rework, and risk exposure that leaders are expected to fix without formal tools or frameworks.
