What is the Mid-Market High-Stakes Performance Frameworks course about?
As distributed operations grow in complexity, traditional performance models fail to account for latency in decision-making, compliance variance across regions, and misaligned incentives. Leaders are left overcompensating with process overhead instead of enabling flow.
