What is the Production-Grade Innovation Capacity course about?
Public-sector teams are expected to innovate, yet operate within strict governance, budget cycles, and accountability frameworks. Many initiatives fail to move beyond prototype because they lack integration with procurement, security, auditability, and long-term maintenance. This creates a gap between strategic intent and operational reality, especially when scaling across agencies or jurisdictions.
