What is the Enterprise-Class Product-Led Operating Models course about?
Teams are increasingly distributed, but most operating models are still centralized or ad hoc. This leads to misalignment, decision bottlenecks, and eroding accountability. Without a coherent product-led structure, even well-resourced initiatives stall in execution. Professionals are expected to lead without frameworks, templates, or playbooks to ground them.
