Fix the handoff

Turn messy requests into clean work.

Many operational problems begin at intake: incomplete information, unclear ownership, repeated questions, avoidable rework and handoffs that depend on someone remembering the next step.

Cleaner intake, faster routing and fewer avoidable delays downstream.

What this involves

Intake design

Capture what teams need without creating a form nobody wants to finish.

Triage

Separate routine work, exceptions, risks and urgent items quickly.

Routing

Send work to the right person, team or system with the right context attached.

Customer updates

Reduce chasing by giving clear status and next-step communication.

Controls

Make approvals, evidence and exceptions visible.

Measurement

Track request quality, throughput, delays and rework.

Likely outputs

Useful artefacts, not theatre.

Scope is confirmed around the operational problem and the business case for changing it.
