What is the Pragmatic Continuous Improvement course about?
Even high-performing teams hit inflection points where legacy rhythms fail. Without intentional design, growth introduces complexity that slows decision-making, erodes quality, and strains culture. The cost isn’t just operational, it’s strategic.
