What is the Pragmatic Digital Operating-Model Design course about?
Leaders are expected to deliver digital transformation, but lack a repeatable, scalable method to design operating models that align people, processes, and technology across hybrid work settings. Existing frameworks are too theoretical or too siloed to be practical. This creates delays, misalignment, and compliance exposure during execution.
