What is the Scalable Stakeholder Management course about?
In high-growth settings, stakeholder expectations multiply faster than processes can adapt. Teams default to ad-hoc comms, reactive firefighting, and fragmented updates, eroding trust, slowing decisions, and increasing execution risk. Leaders are expected to ‘manage up’ but aren’t given scalable systems to do so.
