What is the Production-Grade Digital Strategy course about?
Public-sector digital initiatives frequently stall due to unclear ownership, lack of technical governance, or overreliance on temporary fixes. Teams invest heavily but struggle to move from pilot to production, risking budget overruns and eroded trust. The gap isn't vision, it's execution readiness.
