What is the Production-Grade Talent Strategy course about?

Even high-performing teams struggle to maintain momentum when talent planning remains reactive, siloed, or disconnected from delivery cycles. The gap isn't effort, it's architecture. Without a production-grade approach, organizations overhire, underutilize, or misalign critical roles just when agility matters most.
