What is the Scalable Crisis Management course about?

In fast-moving cross-functional environments, especially in regulated technology delivery, crisis moments expose gaps in communication, decision authority, and recovery sequencing. Without scalable frameworks, teams default to ad hoc responses that increase resolution time and compliance risk.
