What is the Strategic Risk Management for Distributed course about?

Even seasoned leaders face challenges when risk signals are fragmented across tools, time zones, and cultures. Standard compliance checklists fail to capture emergent vulnerabilities in fast-moving, decentralized workflows. Without structured frameworks, teams default to reactive mode, delaying progress and increasing exposure.
