What is the Scalable Stakeholder Management course about?

Even the most promising initiatives stall when key stakeholders aren't brought along at the right pace, with the right context. Traditional stakeholder models are too static for fast-moving environments, leading to rework, loss of trust, and abandoned pilots. The gap isn’t effort, it’s structure.
