What is the Audit-Tested Operating-Model Design course about?
Multi-site programs often rely on inconsistent processes, reactive documentation, and fragmented controls. When audits arrive, teams scramble to prove compliance, exposing gaps in design and execution. The cost is delays, remediation work, and eroded stakeholder trust.
