What is the Scalable MLOps Foundations for Risk-Adverse course about?

Data science initiatives often advance in isolation, only to face resistance during audit cycles or board reviews. Without a documented, standardized MLOps foundation, even successful pilots struggle to transition into approved, funded programs. The gap isn’t technical capability, it’s governance fluency.
