Method
Map. Name. Join. Prove. Leave.
The method is public. What is specific to your operation stays with you.
-
01
Map
Watch how a real piece of work moves from request to done. The map is the path people use, including the side paths the official process does not mention.
-
02
Name
Put one owner on each duty that can stop that path. If two people believe they own it, or nobody does, that is the finding.
-
03
Join
Close the seams that matter first: a handoff, two records that disagree, access that is shared with no owner, or a brand that runs a different week. Sequence the rest. Do not boil the ocean.
-
04
Prove
Run the new cadence on a real week. Record what held, what slipped, and what changed, including SOC 2 and PCI evidence and the automation that keeps onboarding, offboarding, and access review current. A diagram that was never used is not a result.
-
05
Leave
Hand over the owners, the cadence, and the record. The team should be able to run the next week without a consultant in the meeting.
