What is the Fix the Mid-Quarter Delivery Stall course about?

High-visibility client projects start with momentum but grind to a halt mid-cycle. Status updates become circular. Stakeholders retreat. Teams wait for direction. The original plan no longer fits the reality on the ground. Without a method to reset quickly, the project drifts, costing time, trust, and margin. This course targets the exact breakdown point: when ownership blurs, expectations diverge, and progress stops.
