What is the Fixing the Obsolescence Review That Keeps course about?
You’ve built the assessment, mapped the risks, and proposed a path forward, but the review cycle stalls. Stakeholders ask for the same inputs repeatedly, governance teams defer decisions, and momentum dies. The cost isn’t just delay; it’s increased exposure, budget erosion, and lost credibility. This isn’t a failure of analysis, it’s a failure of adoption engineering. The fix isn’t deeper technical work.
