Explanation

Inconsistent compliance and poor-quality information are classic symptoms of insufficient awareness, understanding, or training - not necessarily bad intent. A structured communication and training program directly addresses both root causes: it educates stakeholders on the processes (improving compliance) and sets clear expectations for information quality and format (improving data quality). Hiring an external consultant (A) is costly and doesn't build internal capability. Asking senior management for an all-staff meeting (B) may reinforce importance but does not provide the practical guidance needed for correct execution. Reporting stakeholders for disciplinary action (D) is premature and counterproductive before training has been provided.
