What is the Fix the Handoff course about?
You're responsible for secure transfer, but once the package or file is passed off, you're left guessing whether it was processed, escalated, or forgotten. You're rebuilding the same status update spreadsheet every week because no shared system exists. Stakeholders reply late or not at all, forcing you to chase instead of optimize. The process stalls at the handoff point , not because.

The situation this course is for
You're responsible for secure transfer, but once the package or file is passed off, you're left guessing whether it was processed, escalated, or forgotten. You're rebuilding the same status update spreadsheet every week because no shared system exists. Stakeholders reply late or not at all, forcing you to chase instead of optimize. The process stalls at the handoff point , not because of malice, but because roles aren't mapped to actions. You know the model works, but scaling it internally feels like starting from scratch each time.
