What is the ISO 22301 for Senior R&D Engineering course about?
Many engineers treat ISO 22301 as a documentation exercise, not a technical leadership lever, leading to reactive fire drills, duplicated testing, and peer teams bypassing process. When incidents hit, unclear ownership delays response and erodes trust.
