What is the Mid-Market Talent Strategy for Regulated course about?

Mid-market organizations face unique pressure: they must demonstrate governance maturity like larger firms, but with fewer resources. Generic talent models don’t account for regulatory constraints, leading to inconsistent role definitions, promotion disputes, and audit findings. Without a structured approach, growth introduces compliance risk and operational friction.
