What is the Operationally-Sound Strategic Planning course about?
Leaders in multi-site environments often face misaligned execution, inconsistent reporting, and delayed response cycles, not due to poor strategy, but because frameworks lack operational fidelity. The gap between board-level intent and site-level action widens without structured, repeatable planning systems.
