What is the Modern Digital Operating-Model Design course about?

Post-acquisition integration often leads to friction between central governance and local agility. Teams face misaligned KPIs, duplicated platforms, and inconsistent data practices, slowing time-to-value and eroding ROI. Without a deliberate operating model, even high-potential acquisitions underperform.
