What is the Audit-Tested Customer-Centric Operating course about?

Post-acquisition integration often sacrifices customer experience and compliance rigor in favor of speed. Teams inherit fragmented systems, inconsistent governance, and misaligned incentives, leading to audit delays, retention drops, and operational drag. Traditional playbooks don’t close the loop between customer-centric design and audit readiness.
