What is the Enterprise-Class Operating-Model Design course about?
Public-sector initiatives often face misaligned incentives, fragmented governance, and rigid delivery structures. Traditional approaches to program design fail to account for evolving stakeholder demands, regulatory shifts, and integration across digital and operational layers. Without a coherent operating model, even high-priority programs underdeliver or require constant remediation.
