What is the Mid-Market Product-Led Operating Models course about?

Traditional compliance models rely on linear approvals and manual checks that create bottlenecks. In fast-moving product-led organizations, this leads to shadow processes, inconsistent controls, and last-minute firefighting. The lack of integrated operating models undermines trust, slows time-to-market, and increases operational risk.
