Program Leader CTEM Proving Ground Lab: Coming Soon

The Program Leader CTEM Proving Ground Lab is coming soon. It will focus on running CTEM as a program: designing the operating model, setting the governance rhythm, choosing metrics that hold executive attention, and building the exposure report a board will actually read.

Last updated: July 24, 2026

What you will learn

  • What the Program Leader proving ground lab will cover
  • How program level decisions differ from analyst decisions
  • Where to build leadership skills in the meantime
