What is the Production-Grade Operating-Model Redesign course about?
Many compliance operating models are cobbled together from ad-hoc processes, legacy tools, and siloed ownership. This leads to inconsistent enforcement, high overhead during audits, and brittle responses to regulatory changes. As systems grow more interconnected and regulations more dynamic, these models struggle to keep pace, leading to rework, escalated findings, and operational drag.
