What is the Scalable Cultural Transformation Practice course about?

Cultural transformation often fails not because of poor execution, but because it speaks a different language than risk governance. Proposals that lack structured escalation paths, measurable tolerance bands, or phased accountability frameworks get deferred or diluted. This creates cycles of stalled momentum and eroded trust.
