What is the Mid-Market Customer-Centric Operating Models course about?
Teams invest in customer experience improvements, but without an aligned operating model, those gains erode over time. Silos persist, feedback loops are slow, and execution becomes reactive. The result is inconsistent delivery, missed revenue signals, and operational drag.
