What is the Enterprise-Class Digital Operating-Model course about?
Senior leaders often inherit legacy structures or launch change programs without a unified model to align people, processes, and technology. This results in duplicated efforts, unclear accountability, and difficulty measuring progress. The missing piece isn't ambition, it's architectural clarity.
