What is the Cross-Functional Operating-Model Design course about?
Organizations are adopting hybrid work permanently, but most operating models remain rooted in co-located assumptions. This creates friction in decision-making, delays in delivery, and confusion across functions. Traditional approaches don’t scale across time zones, reporting lines, or digital workflows.
