What is the Production-Grade Strategic Planning course about?

Traditional planning breaks down when teams span regions, functions, and workflows. Ambiguity creeps in. Priorities diverge. Execution stalls. The cost isn’t delays, it’s eroded trust and wasted potential across high-stakes initiatives.
