What is the Fixing the Mid-Year Benefits Rollout That course about?

Every mid-year cycle, the same breakdowns return: misaligned stakeholder comms, version-controlled documents that don’t sync, compliance gaps flagged late, and last-minute changes that cascade into delays. The process starts clean but derails by Week 3. You’re spending more time firefighting than leading. This course stops that by rebuilding the rollout on a predictable execution model.
