5 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.
Decision Rights Matrix
Use this workflow when recurring cross-functional stalls, overlapping ownership, hidden approvals, slow vetoes, passive resistance, or accountability without authority require explicit final-say, required-input, veto, SLA, escalation, and review rules.
Output Return a decision rights system with decisioninventory, actualpathevidence, finalsay, requiredinput, vetoscopeandsla, executionandescalation, decisioncards, and reviewmeasures.
Govern Org Process and Cadence
Use this workflow when processes, approvals, recurring forums, dashboards, planning cycles, escalations, or decision logs have accumulated, apply uniformly, reward compliance over outcomes, lack change authority, or no longer improve risk, quality, decisions, or flow.
Output Return an org process and cadence design with inventoryandjobs, flowandcost, proportionality, ownershipandexpiry, forumdesign, removalsandcontrols, and pilotandreview.
Handoff Friction Map
Use this workflow when routine work crosses too many teams, a shared service blocks many initiatives, embedded roles have two bosses, information travels up to come back down, or current team boundaries no longer fit scale, work identity, authority, and interface economics.
Output Return a handoff and topology design with workflowmap, frictionmeasures, unitfit, mechanism, topologyoptions, targetinterfaces, and pilotevidence.
Org Design Diagnosis
Use this workflow when an org chart, reorganization proposal, or recurring execution problem must be tested against how decisions, information, work, queues, incentives, informal power, escalation, and rework actually operate.
Output Return an organi
Role Clarity Redesign
Use this workflow when an organizational diagnosis has identified a high-cost structural mechanism and leaders need a politically feasible, human-aware redesign wave spanning units, roles, decision rights, incentives, interfaces, cadence, transition, and measurable stabilization.
Output Return an organi
Human review
Keep consequential decisions explicit.
These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
