The owner problem
Why this work needs a defined lane
Important customer messages are mixed with routine questions, causing slow replies and missed owner decisions.
A reliable handoff starts with a named source, a visible finish line, and a person who owns each exception. The specialist can prepare and maintain repeatable work while the business keeps decisions that affect money, policy, access, and unusual customer outcomes.
