What is the Scalable Stakeholder Management course about?

High-performing teams ship fast but often hit invisible walls: passive resistance, delayed approvals, or sudden objections late in the cycle. These aren’t technical failures, they’re stakeholder coordination failures. Traditional approaches don’t scale across distributed teams, hybrid models, or evolving governance expectations.
