What is the Production-Grade Change Management course about?
Even well-designed change programs stall when ownership is diffuse, approval paths are unclear, and rollout patterns lack repeatability. In fast-moving environments, the gap between strategy and coordinated execution widens, leading to rework, compliance gaps, and eroded stakeholder trust.
