What is the Enterprise-Class Operating-Model Design course about?

Professionals in established enterprises often inherit operating models not built for change. When strategy shifts or technology evolves, these models creak or collapse. Traditional approaches lack depth, integration, or implementation rigor, leaving leaders to improvise under pressure. There’s a growing gap between high-level vision and operational execution, one that risks velocity, compliance, and stakeholder trust.
