What is the Operationally-Sound Customer-Centric course about?
Organizations invest in customer-centric transformations, yet most stall at implementation. Initiatives lose momentum due to misaligned incentives, fragmented feedback loops, and innovation operating without operational guardrails. The gap isn’t strategy, it’s executable design.
