What is the Fixing the ISV Partner Framework That course about?

You launch with energy. Partners are onboarded. Leadership is updated. Then by Week 2, momentum dies. Integration tasks stall. Stakeholders disengage. The framework collapses under coordination debt. You end up manually chasing updates, re-briefing teams, and rebuilding trust. This isn't failure , it's a design flaw in how the framework sustains itself after kickoff.
