What is the Scalable Operating-Model Design course about?
Even well-resourced programs fail when operating models aren’t designed to scale. Inconsistent processes, misaligned governance, and local customization without system-wide coherence create hidden costs and delivery delays. Leaders spend more time coordinating than leading.
