What is the Production-Grade Innovation Capacity Building course about?

Distributed teams generate abundant ideas, but struggle to convert them into shipped, scalable solutions. Without production-grade frameworks, efforts fragment across silos, feedback loops stretch, and alignment erodes, especially under compliance or audit pressure.
