What is the Pragmatic Crisis Management for High-Growth course about?

As organizations scale rapidly, especially in regulated environments, the gap between growth velocity and operational resilience widens. Traditional crisis playbooks fail under real pressure because they’re too rigid or disconnected from actual workflows. Teams lack shared mental models, decision rights are unclear, and post-event learning is inconsistent. This creates avoidable exposure when stakes are highest.
