What is the Strategic Governance for Public Sector course about?

You're responsible for technology outcomes in a high-visibility regulatory environment. Every decision must balance innovation with accountability. Legacy systems, evolving compliance requirements, and stakeholder scrutiny make it hard to move fast without overextending your team. The pressure isn't just technical, it's political, procedural, and public. Without a structured governance approach, even well-intentioned initiatives can face delays, audit findings, or reputational exposure.
