What is the Mid-Market Crisis Management for Distributed course about?

Mid-market organizations face unique pressure: they’re too large to coordinate by instinct, too agile to rely on legacy enterprise protocols. When disruption hits, unclear chains of command, asynchronous decision loops, and inconsistent tooling slow response, erode trust, and expose gaps in accountability. These delays aren't just operational, they become strategic liabilities.
