What is the Enterprise-Class Operating-Model Redesign course about?
Organizations invest heavily in distributed teams but struggle to standardize operating models that scale. Misalignment across governance, delivery cadence, and accountability loops leads to friction, rework, and compliance drift. The absence of a coherent operating model undermines even the most capable talent.
