What is the Implementation-Focused Performance Management course about?
Even well-designed programs fail when performance tracking lacks implementation rigor. Siloed metrics, inconsistent review rhythms, and unclear ownership dilute momentum. Professionals spend more time reconciling progress than advancing it. The gap isn't strategy, it's operational discipline.
