What is the Production-Grade Digital Operating-Model course about?
Even well-resourced programs fail when operating models aren’t designed for scale, consistency, and auditability. Without a standardized, production-grade approach, teams face duplicated effort, misaligned KPIs, and reactive governance, leading to cost overruns and delivery erosion.
