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

Mid-market organizations face unique pressure: they’re too large for ad-hoc coordination, yet too agile for legacy enterprise frameworks. Distributed teams amplify complexity in decision rights, process visibility, and role clarity. Without a structured operating model, growth introduces friction, not leverage.
