What is the Fixing the Stakeholder Alignment Loop course about?

High-visibility federal technology initiatives require alignment across contracting officers, agency leads, compliance reviewers, and technical teams. Without a structured engagement rhythm, feedback arrives late, revisions pile up, and momentum stalls , especially when multiple oversight bodies are involved. The result is repeated rework of briefings, architecture diagrams, and implementation plans, often with conflicting inputs. This isn't about communication gaps , it's about.
