What is the Fixing the Monthly Stakeholder Reporting course about?

Every cycle, the process stalls, not because people don’t deliver, but because ownership isn’t codified, templates shift, and version control breaks down. You end up reconciling spreadsheets, chasing updates, and rewriting summaries that should have been clean the first time. This isn’t inefficiency; it’s structural drift in high-velocity reporting.
