What is the Board-Level Operating-Model Redesign course about?
As growth accelerates, board oversight often lags behind operational complexity. Traditional models break under pressure, creating misalignment between strategy, execution, and accountability. Leaders are left retrofitting structure instead of driving forward momentum.
