Begin with an explicit operating record
Begin with an explicit operating record: capture the original commitment, accountable owner, due date, approved audience, completion evidence, and any changed scope. For HireExecutiveTeam, this keeps executive support practical while leaving consequential judgment with the accountable leader.
Distinguish work performed from an outcome accepted
Distinguish work performed from an outcome accepted. Link to the controlled evidence and record who confirmed closure without copying restricted board material into a broad tracker.
Board support maintains the record and reminders; the action
Board support maintains the record and reminders; the action owner and authorized board liaison determine whether the commitment is complete.
After two weekly cycles, review real completions, corrections, waiting
After two weekly cycles, review real completions, corrections, waiting time, and exceptions. Change the workflow only with its owner, document the revised authority, and keep the smallest record that proves the handoff worked.
