What is the Production-Grade Customer-Centric Operating course about?
As companies expand, their operating models frequently become reactive, siloed, and inconsistent. Customer insights get lost in handoffs, product iterations lose alignment with real needs, and operational velocity comes at the cost of experience. Without a structured, production-grade approach, growth can erode trust and efficiency.
