What is the Mid-Market Operating-Model Design course about?

Mid-market organizations face unique pressures, growing across locations while lacking the infrastructure of larger enterprises. Without a deliberate operating model, teams default to reactive coordination, duplicated efforts, and misaligned priorities. This slows execution, increases risk, and limits strategic agility.
