What is the Pragmatic Automation-at-Scale Programs course about?
Teams launch automation locally with strong results, but as efforts expand, inconsistencies grow. Governance lags, audit readiness declines, and the promise of enterprise-wide efficiency stalls. Without a unified approach, multi-site automation becomes a liability instead of a leverage point.
