What is the Fixing Control Friction in High-Pressure Risk course about?

You're responsible for maintaining audit-ready controls across multiple divisions. But every cycle, the same problem returns: last-minute data gaps, version-controlled spreadsheets that break under review, and control owners who treat sign-off as a checkbox. The framework exists, but execution stalls because the process doesn't adapt to real-world exceptions. You're not lacking policy. You're lacking a *repeatable, lightweight implementation rhythm* that holds up.
