What is the Pragmatic Continuous Improvement course about?
Most continuous improvement frameworks were built for stable environments. In high-growth organizations, they break down, too slow, too heavy, or too disconnected from delivery. Teams default to reactive mode, losing momentum and strategic alignment. The cost isn’t just inefficiency, it’s eroded trust in process itself.
