What is the COBIT for Senior Principal Consultants course about?

High-performing consultants often reach a ceiling where their input is valued but not authoritative. They're looped in after decisions are made, asked to review instead of define, and excluded from the rooms where governance direction is set. The gap isn't knowledge, it's mandate. Without formal ownership of control frameworks, even the most capable practitioners remain downstream of influence.
