What is the Strategic Continuous Improvement course about?

Most continuous improvement models were built for stability, not velocity. In high-growth environments, they break down, initiatives become siloed, feedback loops lag, and teams default to reactive mode. The cost isn’t just efficiency; it’s strategic drift.
