What is the Strategic Operating-Model Design course about?
Multi-site initiatives frequently underperform because operating models aren't designed with the same rigor as strategy. Leaders inherit fragmented workflows, unclear accountability, and tools that don't integrate across locations. This creates delays, compliance gaps, and team fatigue.
