One decision. Clear ownership. · Review and retain

Scaling from one handover to a team system

One successful handover gives you an example to learn from, not proof that every decision should transfer in the same way. Expand by decision type and check the dependencies between owners.

Antony Draper Advisory · Practical operating guidance

Put it into practice

  1. Review the first agreement and its limits.

  2. Choose the next related decision and identify shared constraints.

  3. Create a small decision map before expanding across teams.

Illustrative example

A case to think through

After routine scheduling works, the team examines capacity allocation. That second decision may need different information and cross-team authority.

This is a hypothetical operating example, not a client result.

A boundary worth checking

Copying the first boundary everywhere can create conflicting permissions when several owners affect the same resource.

Keep review focused on evidence and the conditions around a decision. A different reasonable method is not automatically a defect. Where intervention is necessary, make the temporary change to ownership explicit and decide what evidence would support restoring or revising the agreement.

When should I assess wider founder dependency?

When repeated issues span several teams or dimensions. Use the free Assessment to explore the broader pattern rather than assuming one worksheet will resolve it.
