What is the Board-Level Operating-Model Design for Hybrid course about?

Hybrid work is no longer just an HR or IT concern, it's a strategic governance issue. Boards are asking sharper questions about operational continuity, performance visibility, and risk exposure in distributed environments. Yet practitioners are left assembling fragmented policies without a coherent, board-level operating model to anchor them. This creates execution drift, misaligned investments, and escalation risk during board reviews.
