What is the Practical Risk Management for High-Growth course about?
As teams scale rapidly, informal risk practices collapse under complexity. Leaders face pressure to move fast while avoiding costly missteps, but lack structured, repeatable systems to guide decisions. Without a coherent framework, risk becomes reactive, fragmented, and overly dependent on tribal knowledge.
