What is the Risk-Managed Performance Management course about?
Public-sector programs face rising expectations for transparency, audit readiness, and outcome delivery. Traditional performance models treat risk as a sidebar, creating misalignment when oversight intensifies. Practitioners report being caught off-guard by compliance findings or stakeholder escalations that performance data alone couldn’t prevent.
