What is the COBIT for Power Systems Reliability Engineers course about?

Engineers in regulated environments often reinvent governance artefacts each cycle, control mappings, audit responses, policy updates, because there's no system to preserve or reuse past work. This leads to mounting effort, inconsistent outputs, and missed opportunities to gain leverage across cycles.
