What is the Scalable Strategic Planning Frameworks course about?

Even well-resourced teams struggle to maintain momentum when planning across time zones, functions, and priorities. Traditional offsites and top-down directives fail to sustain engagement or adapt to change. Without scalable frameworks, strategy becomes fragmented, execution lags, and leadership bandwidth is drained in coordination overhead.
