What is the Operationally-Sound Operating-Resilience course about?
Even well-funded, high-priority cross-functional initiatives routinely underperform due to inconsistent decision rhythms, unclear escalation paths, and reactive governance. The cost isn’t just delays, it’s erosion of trust, wasted capacity, and missed strategic windows. Traditional project management doesn’t address these systemic weaknesses. What’s needed is an operating-resilience mindset applied at the program level.
