What is the Scalable Quality Management course about?

Even well-resourced programs break down when quality is interpreted differently across functions. Engineering measures stability, product measures outcomes, compliance measures controls, and leadership sees misalignment. Without a scalable quality framework, teams default to local optimizations that compromise enterprise goals.
