What is the Board-Level Operating-Model Redesign course about?

Innovation mandates are rising at the board level, yet most governance frameworks remain rooted in compliance and control. This creates a gap: leaders are asked to enable transformation without the structural tools to design, measure, or scale it. The result is fragmented initiatives, misaligned incentives, and unrealized potential, despite clear strategic intent.
