DORA compliance feels siloed or reactive

The situation this course is for

Teams implement DORA in pockets without coordination. Regulatory deadlines loom, but integration across regions and business units remains inconsistent. The result: duplicated effort, uneven maturity, and missed opportunities to lead from the center.

Who this is for

Senior compliance, risk, or control leader in a global financial institution

Who this is not for

Individuals new to DORA, contributors executing narrow workstreams, or those outside financial services

What you walk away with

  • Lead DORA alignment sessions across business units with confidence
  • Design reusable artefacts that scale across regions
  • Position yourself as the hub for cross-functional DORA execution
  • Anticipate and resolve dependencies before they slow rollouts
  • Shape consistent implementation without direct authority
