What is the Operationally-Sound Performance Management course about?
Even the most agile organizations stall when legacy performance frameworks create drag. Misalignment between innovation velocity and operational accountability leads to burnout, dropped initiatives, and inconsistent results, especially under compliance or governance scrutiny.
