What is the Operationally-Sound Performance Management course about?
In scaling organizations, performance systems often lag behind headcount growth, funding cycles, and product expansion. This creates ambiguity in expectations, inconsistency in evaluations, and misalignment between individual contributions and strategic goals. Traditional review cycles fail under rapid iteration, leaving leaders reacting instead of shaping outcomes. The result is talented people disengaging, promotions based on visibility over impact, and cultural decay masked as.
