What is the Strategic Innovation Capacity Building course about?

Without a deliberate system, distributed teams default to coordination instead of innovation, missing opportunities to scale ideas, engage talent, and respond with agility. Ad-hoc collaboration erodes psychological safety, slows decision velocity, and fragments ownership.
