In this hour, we start where projects really live or die: who owns what, and when it gets done. You’ll meet a handful of tools that turn good conversations into work that actually happens: the stakeholder register (who’s really in the room), a RACI chart (who’s Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed, and why saying it out loud ends the “I thought you had it” problem), and the one habit that should close every meeting — naming who, what, and when.

Follow up with the 3-hour Master Class of "MAKING THE THING HAPPEN" on August 27. Taught by someone who has spent twenty-five (25) years putting these tools to work in the field – and is still using them today. The tools are the discipline’s standards; what you get here is how they hold up in the wild.
