What is the Modern Operational Excellence course about?
Teams in regulated environments often face a false trade-off: slow down to be compliant or innovate fast and risk exposure. This tension leads to delayed releases, audit findings, and team burnout. The root issue isn't policy, it's the lack of operational models that integrate control into flow.
