What is the Risk-Managed Innovation Operating Models course about?
Organizations are over-indexing on deal velocity while under-investing in post-merger operating model design. This creates silent value leakage: duplicated efforts, stalled product rollouts, compliance gaps, and team fragmentation. Leaders are expected to deliver synergy but lack structured methods to govern innovation across merged entities.
