What is the Strategic Transformation Leadership course about?

Even skilled leaders struggle when transformation spans regions, functions, and systems. Without a coherent model, efforts stall in pilot purgatory, lose executive support, or fail to scale beyond early wins. The challenge isn't just remote work, it's designing for clarity, velocity, and sustained engagement without colocation.
