Compliance.

Translate obligations into owners, controls, evidence and periodic review.

Why it matters

Turn an idea into a working change.

Translate obligations into owners, controls, evidence and periodic review.

Begin with one specific outcome. Ask who experiences the current problem, what evidence would show it, and which decision or process could change. Assign an owner and set a date to review the effect.

  1. Describe the current work and the result it produces.
  2. Gather a small set of real examples and involve the people doing the work.
  3. Choose a proportionate change with an owner and a measure.
  4. Review the result, unintended effects and next decision.
