What is the Implementation-Focused Continuous Improvement course about?
Even well-resourced programs fail when teams operate in silos, feedback loops are slow, and improvement efforts remain theoretical. The gap isn’t strategy, it’s implementation fidelity across departments, timelines, and priorities.
