What is the Scalable Building Personal Operating Models course about?

Without a structured approach, even skilled professionals default to reactive workflows, fragmented communication, and decision drift when working remotely. The lack of standardized operating models leads to coordination overhead, misaligned expectations, and execution debt across time zones and functions.
