What is the ISO 31000 for Product Leaders course about?

Without a consistent risk language, product decisions get second-guessed, roadmaps stall under scrutiny, and influence fades when risk spikes. Many rely on intuition, but that doesn’t scale across reviews or earn trust in high-stakes moments.
