What is the Strategic Performance Management course about?
Traditional performance models break down when teams span time zones, cultures, and digital workflows. Without intentional design, even strong performers become disconnected, goals drift, and review cycles lose relevance. The cost isn't just inefficiency, it's lost innovation, attrition, and strategic slippage.
