What is the COBIT for Senior IT Strategy Leaders course about?

Teams invest heavily in governance, yet outcomes remain fragmented. Policies gather dust. Reviews require constant translation. Frameworks don't speak to engineering, finance, or compliance in a shared language. The result: influence stays local, not enterprise-wide.
