What is the Practical Customer-Centric Operating Models course about?
Even well-resourced programs struggle to maintain consistent customer focus across multiple locations. Local adaptations, compliance variations, and legacy systems often lead to divergent processes, inconsistent data, and delayed feedback, making it difficult to scale what works. Without a unified model, teams spend energy reconciling differences instead of improving outcomes.
