What is the Risk-Managed Product-Led Operating Models course about?
Organizations often default to centralized oversight or local autonomy, both create friction. The middle path, where product-led teams operate with bounded risk ownership across sites, is underdefined and under-resourced, leading to duplicated effort, compliance gaps, and leadership whiplash.
