The situation this course is for
Leaders in regulated industries often face misalignment between technical teams, governance requirements, and executive expectations.

Who this is not for
This course is not for those seeking introductory overviews or theoretical frameworks without execution pathways. It’s also not for vendors selling tools or platforms.
