What is the Fix the Monthly Office Reporting Cycle course about?

Every quarter, the same issues resurface: missing inputs from remote teams, version confusion in shared drives, last-minute formatting fixes, and leadership requesting changes that should’ve been locked earlier. The process consumes days of rework, eroding trust and predictability. This isn’t about data quality, it’s about process fragility. The reporting cycle should be repeatable, not relitigated.
