What is the Production-Grade Operating-Model Design course about?
Multi-site programs often operate with inconsistent processes, unclear ownership, and reactive governance. This leads to duplicated effort, compliance gaps, and delivery delays, especially when under audit or scaling rapidly. Traditional frameworks don’t address the real-world complexity of coordinating across time zones, cultures, and regulatory environments.
