What is the Production-Grade Customer-Centric Operating course about?
Teams invest heavily in discovery and experimentation, but struggle to scale what works. Customer feedback loops break at handoffs, governance slows momentum, and alignment erodes across functions. Without a cohesive, production-grade operating model, even the best ideas fail to gain traction.
