What is the Scalable Capability-Building Roadmaps course about?

Acquisitive organizations face mounting pressure to realize value quickly after integration, yet most lack standardized roadmaps for scaling new capabilities without destabilizing core functions. Teams improvise, leading to inconsistent outcomes, duplicated effort, and missed synergies. Without a structured approach, even successful acquisitions underperform due to poor operational assimilation.
