Define the role

State the purpose, immovable meetings, preparation needs, recovery constraints, and approval owner before comparing itinerary options.

Set the operating model

Support can assemble alternatives and identify schedule risk. The executive or designated travel owner decides when a lower-friction option is worth changing a commitment.

Choose with care

After the trip, compare the plan with reality and update the travel profile. Record the lesson, not unnecessary personal detail.
