What is the Pragmatic Innovation Capacity Building course about?
Professionals in regulated industries often face a false choice: comply slowly or innovate unsafely. Traditional innovation training ignores audit trails, version control, and documentation debt, while compliance training rarely anticipates change. This creates friction, delays, and diluted outcomes.
