What is the ISO 20000 for HR Leaders course about?

HR teams often inherit service designs or react to engineering demands. When service standards shift, delays ripple. The bottleneck isn’t buy-in, it’s clarity on who decides what. Without formalized decision rights, even seasoned leaders default to consensus, slowing delivery.
