What is the Operationally-Sound Operating-Model Design course about?
Even well-resourced programs struggle to maintain alignment when operating models aren't designed with consistency, auditability, and adaptability built in. Without a standardized approach, each new site becomes a custom project, increasing risk and slowing time-to-value.
