Fix the Brand Strategy Backlog in 12 Days

Description

What is the Fix the Brand Strategy Backlog course about?

You’ve built the framework. The core team agrees. Yet every presentation reopens old debates. Stakeholders request last-minute shifts. Leadership asks for 'one more version'. The strategy sits in approval limbo , consuming cycles but delivering no momentum. This isn’t a strategy problem. It’s a rollout execution problem. And it’s blocking your ability to scale impact.
