What is the Strategic Digital Strategy course about?

Organizations launch innovation labs, hackathons, and R&D sprints, yet see minimal impact. The root cause isn't creativity, it's the absence of a structured digital strategy that operationalizes innovation across governance, delivery, and culture. Without a coherent framework, even the best ideas stall in silos.
