What is the Fix the Stakeholder Misalignment course about?

You’ve built the architecture. The team is ready. But in the review meeting, leadership questions the ROI, ops pushes back on adoption, and engineering feels blindsided by changes. The delay isn’t technical, it’s alignment. You’re spending 40% of your time negotiating expectations that should’ve been set earlier. This isn’t a one-off; it repeats with every cross-functional initiative, eroding trust and velocity.
