What is the Audit-Tested Operating-Model Design course about?
Teams launching programs across sites often inherit inconsistent controls, localized workarounds, and misaligned reporting lines. This leads to audit findings, rework, and delays during scaling. Without a unified design, even high-performing units struggle to demonstrate compliance consistency.
