What is the Scalable Strategic Planning Frameworks course about?

Most strategic planning processes are rigid, calendar-bound, and disconnected from real-time innovation signals. This creates misalignment between leadership intent and team execution, especially in fast-moving environments where agility determines impact. Practitioners lack frameworks that scale strategy dynamically while maintaining coherence.
