What is the Faster Path from Policy to Operational course about?

Even with clear mandates, financial leaders face delays translating policy into operational workflows. The gap between strategic direction and team-level execution creates inefficiencies, especially under increased scrutiny. Without structured translation methods, teams default to ad hoc responses that don’t scale or compound.
