What is the Mid-Market Performance Management course about?
Mid-market organizations face unique challenges: they're too large for informal oversight, yet lack the centralized infrastructure of enterprise teams. Without a unified performance framework, site-level variations erode accountability, delay decision-making, and increase operational risk. Leaders spend more time reconciling data than acting on it.
