A tailored course, built for your situation
Fix the Monthly Market Summary That Breaks Every Cycle
A 12-module system to automate your recurring market intelligence deliverable with zero rework
The situation this course is for
Every month, the same thing happens: the dataset shifts, a stakeholder changes formatting expectations, or a source drops out. You end up rebuilding large sections of the market summary from scratch. The template doesn’t hold. The automation fails. The version control is messy. You spend days fixing what should take hours. This isn’t strategy, it’s operational drag. And it’s happening on a recurring schedule, which means the pain compounds. You’re not alone. Most market intelligence specialists are stuck in this loop because their summaries were built ad hoc, not engineered for repeatability.
Who this is for
Market Intelligence Specialist at a global industrial firm, responsible for delivering a recurring, high-visibility market summary to functional stakeholders. They are technically capable, time-constrained, and tired of rework.
Who this is not for
This is not for executives who delegate reporting, consultants who build one-off decks, or analysts who only do deep-dive projects without recurring deliverables.
What you walk away with

- Automate data ingestion from three or more common sources (PDFs, portals, databases)
- Create fallback logic for when primary data sources fail or change format
