What is the Mid-Market Multi-Cloud Operating Models course about?
Mid-market organizations often adopt cloud services reactively, leading to overlapping tools, inconsistent policies, and siloed ownership. As hybrid work becomes standard, these gaps surface as operational friction, compliance exposure, and leadership misalignment. Teams struggle to balance innovation speed with control, and without a clear operating model, each new cloud project increases technical debt.
