What is the Operationally-Sound Continuous Improvement course about?

Leaders launch improvement initiatives with strong local results, only to see them stall or diverge across sites. Without a consistent operational model, teams reinvent the wheel, leadership loses visibility, and ROI erodes. The challenge isn’t effort, it’s sound operational design.
