What is the Modern Continuous Improvement course about?

Teams committed to innovation often bypass formal improvement processes because they feel slow, bureaucratic, or misaligned. Yet without structure, learning remains fragmented and impact unsustainable. The gap between agility and discipline widens, just when alignment is most needed.
