What is the Operationally-Sound Capability-Building course about?
Organizations invest heavily in acquiring talent, technology, and capacity, but fail to operationalize what they gain. Roadmaps collapse under misaligned incentives, unclear ownership, and shifting priorities. The result: wasted investment, eroded trust, and stalled transformation.
