What is the Enterprise-Class Strategic Decision Making course about?
Leaders in distributed environments frequently face invisible friction: decisions get delayed in channels, context is lost across time zones, and accountability blurs without formal decision architecture. This slows execution, erodes trust, and increases operational risk, especially during high-stakes initiatives.
