What is the Operationally-Sound Operational Excellence course about?
Even mature distributed teams struggle with inconsistent execution, unclear ownership, and reactive rather than proactive governance. Without a structured operational backbone, scaling teams introduces drift, rework, and compliance blind spots, especially under audit or inspection.
