This course builds upon the foundation established in CM2 courses CM2-01 through CM2-07, which covered the 19 core business processes in the CM2 Model. For an organization to achieve world-class status, it must embrace organizational transformation that goes beyond current practices and looks toward a future mode of operation. This course focuses on four critical areas that are essential for facilitating that transformation: Program Management, Cybersecurity, Requirements Development, and Supply Chain Management. Structured as four half-day sessions, each topic is explored in depth to provide participants with the necessary skills and processes. Upon completion, students will have a thorough understanding of the key requirements in each area and how the CM2 Model empowers organizations to meet those requirements effectively.
