What is the Cross-Functional Performance Management course about?
As hybrid work becomes standard, traditional performance models fail. Silos deepen, accountability blurs, and cross-functional initiatives stall without clear ownership or shared metrics. Leaders are expected to deliver results across boundaries, but lack the tools to align, measure, and sustain performance at scale.
