What is the Fix the CIO Stakeholder Alignment Loop course about?

Every cycle, the same pattern: data is gathered from multiple teams, consolidated into a draft, shared for input, and then reshaped repeatedly to align with CIO priorities. Key messages get buried, formatting distracts, and by the time it’s approved, the context has shifted. The process consumes 10, 15 hours monthly and still doesn’t feel trusted. This isn’t about content, it’s about structure.
