What is the Operationally-Sound Operating-Model Design course about?

Organizations commit to innovation but default to rigid structures when under pressure. Initiatives stall not from lack of ideas, but from misaligned incentives, unclear decision rights, and operating models that weren't designed for adaptability. The result: wasted investment, team burnout, and missed windows of opportunity.
