What is the Technical Services Leadership course about?
Technical services leaders often face pressure to enforce compliance while enabling innovation. Traditional risk frameworks lack integration with engineering velocity, leading to friction, rework, and delayed delivery. The gap isn't in knowledge, it's in applied structure and strategic alignment.
