What is the Implementation-Focused Brand Strategy course about?

Teams invest heavily in brand positioning, only to see it diluted across fragmented communication, decentralized decision-making, and asynchronous workflows. Without clear implementation protocols, even the strongest strategy becomes inconsistent in practice, especially when teams span time zones and functions.
