What is the Modern Operating-Model Design for Hybrid course about?

As hybrid work becomes permanent, legacy operating models strain under fragmented communication, inconsistent governance, and unclear accountability. Leaders are expected to deliver cohesion without centralized control, but lack structured methods to design, deploy, and measure new models. Most guidance is theoretical or piecemeal, leaving practitioners to assemble frameworks from disjointed sources.
