What is the ISO 20000 for Senior Finance Executives course about?

Senior finance leaders with multi-site P&L responsibility often face misalignment between financial reporting cycles and on-the-ground service delivery. Variance tracking becomes reactive, OpEx forecasts shift unexpectedly, and operational exceptions don't surface until after financial impact. The gap isn't financial acumen, it's a missing language for how service continuity and financial control intersect.
