"Queuing model worth the course itself - non linear demand vs. utilization! Very insightful. Rest of course quite lecture heavy and application light, yet still good learnings for practical Operational planning."

"Developing a Leading Edge Operations Strategy fundamentally changed how I think about operationsnot just as a technical function, but as a strategic driver of competitive advantage. Coming from a software engineering background and transitioning into site reliability and ops leadership, I found the course uniquely valuable. It gave me a strategic framework for what Ive experienced in practice: That operations is how strategy gets executed. That building capabilities like flexibility and reliability is more impactful than just managing resources. That operational excellence is foundational to scale and resilience. And that cross-functional alignment between tech, product, and business units is essential. Since the course, Ive re-evaluated how we design and assess our delivery pipelines. I now look at ops as a long-term enabler of growthnot just as a support function. Highly recommended for tech leaders looking to go beyond execution and into strategic impact."

"Really good hands on and practical course with lots of case studies. Perhaps the only negative is that the cases are all very dated."

They did not get bogged down in situational details yet provided sufficient context and discussion all while being sure to extract the principles for application."
