What is the Pragmatic Organizational Resilience course about?
Organizations executing frequent acquisitions often face cascading technical debt, governance misalignment, and operational fragility. Traditional resilience models lag behind the pace of integration, leaving teams reacting instead of leading. Without a structured approach, each acquisition increases systemic risk and slows time-to-value.
