What is the Scalable Cost Optimization for Multi-Site course about?

Even well-resourced teams struggle to maintain cost discipline when operating across geographies. Local autonomy clashes with central oversight, leading to fragmented spending, redundant tools, and delayed visibility. Without a scalable model, savings initiatives become one-offs rather than systemic improvements.
