Collect unresolved decisions from operating reviews, projects, and stakeholder
Collect unresolved decisions from operating reviews, projects, and stakeholder commitments. Group them by consequence, owner, and date rather than by department.

Test whether each item needs a decision, more evidence, a changed owner, or closure. The chief of staff improves the path to a choice without taking the leader's judgment.
Publish a short current list with next review dates
Publish a short current list with next review dates. Remove work that is complete so the cadence stays useful.
