What is the Production-Grade Digital Operating-Model course about?

Public-sector digital programs often begin with strong mandates but falter under operational complexity. Siloed teams, compliance gaps, and fragile governance structures lead to initiatives that fail to scale or sustain. The missing piece? A robust, engineered operating model that integrates delivery, oversight, and evolution from the start.
