What is the Mid-Market Resilience Frameworks course about?

Mid-market organizations face unique pressures: they must move faster than enterprises but lack the same depth of resources. Distributed teams add complexity in alignment, security, and response speed. Traditional enterprise frameworks are too heavy, while startup tactics lack durability. There’s a gap in practical, proportional resilience strategies that match mid-market scale and pace.
