What is the Governance in Remote Operations course about?

Remote operations create unique governance gaps, delayed reporting, inconsistent risk responses, compliance fatigue, and fragmented communication. Without a tailored framework, oversight becomes reactive, not strategic. Leaders like you are expected to enforce standards while adapting to extreme variability, often without formal tools or playbooks. The risk isn’t just inefficiency; it’s exposure.
