What is the Production-Grade Operating-Model Redesign course about?

Teams build capable systems, but struggle to gain board confidence because their models lack formal resilience, audit readiness, and strategic alignment. The gap isn't capability, it's translation. Without a production-grade framework, initiatives stall in review, funding slows, and momentum fades.
