What is the Stop Control Overload in High-Pressure course about?

Every month, the control review cycle restarts: data pulled from six systems, reformatted three ways, challenged in four meetings, and still questioned at sign-off. The controls are sound, but the reporting isn’t trusted. Teams waste hours reconciling versions, and leadership doubts consistency. The framework works in theory, but execution leaks confidence and time. This isn’t a compliance gap, it’s a delivery gap.
