What is the Strategic Governance for Technology course about?

In roles spanning capital programs, web operations, and interagency coordination, the pressure to deliver grows, yet decision rights are often unclear. Projects slow down not from lack of effort, but from misaligned oversight. You're expected to lead, but governance structures haven't caught up with your responsibilities. This creates friction in approvals, delays in implementation, and missed recognition for impact.
