What is the Influence Across More Business Units course about?

Skilled data engineers often solve critical problems that span departments, yet their contributions remain invisible outside analytics and platform teams. The work is sound, but the narrative doesn't travel. This leads to missed opportunities for influence, where solutions are duplicated or misaligned because other units didn't know the capability already existed.
