What is the Modern Strategic Decision Making course about?

Even in agile organizations, strategic decisions often default to outdated command-and-control models. This creates friction, delays, and disengagement precisely when speed and alignment matter most. The gap isn't capability, it's having a modern, coherent system tailored to innovation-first contexts.
