What is the Implementation-Focused Operational Excellence course about?
Multi-site programs often suffer from fragmented workflows, misaligned incentives, and delayed feedback loops. What works in one location fails in another, not due to effort, but due to lack of implementation structure. Leaders end up managing exceptions instead of scaling success.
