What is the Practical Performance Management course about?

Even well-designed programs falter when performance tracking lacks standardization across sites. Leaders end up reacting to outliers instead of shaping behavior, and local teams struggle with unclear expectations. Without a unified performance system, scale introduces noise, not leverage.
