Losing influence in cross-functional decisions due to reactive compliance positioning
The situation this course is for
Even senior operations leaders can get sidelined in key account and vendor discussions when legal or privacy teams own the narrative. Without a structured, confident command of GDPR, input gets deferred, and strategic alignment stalls. The cost isn’t just delays, it’s diminished role clarity at the leadership level.
Who this is for
Senior Sales Operations leader in a global B2B organization, responsible for process integrity, cross-functional alignment, and account governance. Works at the intersection of sales, legal, and compliance. Values precision, influence, and operational control.
Who this is not for
Entry-level compliance staff, dedicated privacy officers, or legal-only practitioners who don't drive cross-functional execution.
What you walk away with
- Direct input into vendor selection with GDPR-compliant evaluation criteria
- Structured reasoning for data-processing decisions in account restructuring
- Faster alignment with legal teams due to shared framework fluency
- Consistent representation in cross-functional governance meetings
- Repeatable playbook for onboarding global partners under GDPR
