The spreadsheet that breaks every Monday

The situation this course is for

Every month, the same thing happens: data comes in late, formatting inconsistencies delay consolidation, and last-minute changes from stakeholders force rework. The final deliverable is always rushed, and trust in the numbers erodes. This cycle repeats because there’s no standardized workflow , just tribal knowledge and duct tape. It’s not a data problem. It’s a process design problem.

Who this is for

Marketing Operations professionals in mid-to-large tech companies who own recurring reporting, rely on cross-functional inputs, and face recurring stakeholder rework.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors focused only on campaign execution, analysts without stakeholder coordination duties, or leaders outsourcing ops to external teams.

What you walk away with

  • A repeatable monthly reporting workflow that survives team changes and shifting deadlines
  • Stakeholder alignment frameworks that reduce last-minute changes by 80%
  • A clean handoff system between data sources and reporting owners
  • A living documentation template that replaces tribal knowledge
  • Confidence to present clean, auditable reports without rework cycles
