What is the Fixing Stakeholder Alignment Gaps course about?
You deploy a control framework with clear guidelines, but two weeks later, three teams are implementing different versions. Someone in Ops thinks exceptions are allowed. Legal flags gaps not in the original scope. The steering committee sees inconsistent reporting. You end up reworking the same deck for the fourth time, chasing alignment that should have been locked earlier. This isn’t failure.
