Operations KPI scorecard
Once a month the operations manager gets one red-amber-green page for the ten or fewer measures that run the operation: each value worked out from your own exports, its trend, what moved and why in the owner's words, and the action agreed for every red. You set the measures and decide the actions.
Order size comparison
When a supplier offers a bigger discounted order, the inventory planner gets each quantity costed the same way: yearly cost, cash tied up, months of cover and storage fit. The planner chooses the quantity; nothing is ordered.
Outgoing work sign-off log
Every item that needs a responsible attorney's sign-off before it leaves the firm sits in one log, in the order it has to go out: waiting, approved or returned, with the attorney's own note. Anything close to its date with no decision is flagged first. The log tracks status and never touches the legal substance.
Overdue-invoice follow-up preparation
Every overdue invoice gets a follow-up drafted in your firm’s tone for its age and addressed from the right person, and every invoice that should not be chased is held with the reason written down.
Packaging artwork handoff check
Before packaging artwork goes to print, the packaging owner gets a checklist that matches each file to the approved product facts, pack sizes, variants and printer specifications, with version conflicts, missing files and missing approvals listed. It writes and judges no label claim.
Pilot acceptance-test preparation
Go into every AI pilot with the test already written: the cases that matter, what good looks like for each and the rule your owner will use to decide.
Prebill exception review
Before the billing attorney opens a prebill, the billing coordinator has every awkward entry marked: rates that differ from the firm's rate table, possible duplicates, entries outside the client's billing guidelines, unclear narratives and expenses without support, each sent to the person who acts next.
Premortem before a decision
Before your team commits to a plan that is hard to undo, such as a move, a launch or a new system, a short workshop pictures it a few months on, already failed. The record ranks the reasons, turns each top risk into a check, a warning sign and an owner, and leaves the go decision with the owner.
Preventive maintenance plan
For one site, the facilities or operations manager gets every piece of equipment ranked by failure cost, an approach for each (run to failure, scheduled or condition-based), a dated calendar of tasks from the maker's guidance and the failure history, the spare parts to hold and the downtime measures to track.
Price change review
Before prices change, the owner or finance lead gets one review: the margin on each product or service from the sales and cost exports, how costs have moved, what each proposed price does to sales and gross profit across a stated range of customer responses, and dated competitor prices. It recommends no price.
Process map and bottleneck review
Map one process step by step: who does each step, how long work waits and how long it takes, where it is handed over and where it gets sent back. Then find the one step that caps how much gets finished, and what to try there first. The owner decides what changes.
Production schedule rebuild
When orders or forecasts change, the production planner gets a draft build schedule from open orders, work-centre capacity and material availability, with every overload and shortage listed, not quietly fixed. The planner checks feasibility and approves the changes.
Program outcome map
Before an evaluation, the program and evaluation leads get one map linking each activity to the outcome it is meant to serve, with proposed measures, data sources, assumptions and the questions the evidence cannot yet answer. It claims no impact.
Quality management review pack
Before the periodic quality review, the quality lead gets one brief for senior leaders: where each measure stands, complaints and defects, audit findings, action status, and the decisions still open. The leaders decide; the brief claims no compliance with any standard.
Range margin by channel review
When a wholesale offer or a promotion changes the economics of a range, the finance lead gets a margin worksheet for every product in every channel, showing which cost layers are in each figure and which gaps are still open. It invents no cost and changes no price.
Referral source follow-up
The day after a partner meets someone who sends the firm work, they have a follow-up draft and a list of every promise made at the table, by both sides. The draft uses only approved materials and nothing said in confidence; the partner checks it, chooses the next step and sends it.
Restricted gift rollforward
The finance lead gets a working schedule for one named restricted fund: opening balance, recorded gifts, coded expenditure and closing balance, with every unresolved difference listed from the gift agreement summary and the ledger detail. Nothing is posted.
RFQ clarification list
A buyer sending drawings and specifications out for quotation gets one list of missing details, conflicting revisions and ambiguous tolerances, and a record of each supplier's answers. The buyer approves every message; the engineer settles every technical question.
Sales call scorecard
After a sales call, your sales lead sees how it went against your team's own criteria, each point backed by the words actually said, where the call left the deal, and one focus for the next call. It reviews a call, never a person, and gives no score for anyone's file.
Sales pipeline review
Each week your sales lead sees the whole open pipeline on one page: value and age by stage, what moved since last week, the deals at risk and coverage against your target. Every figure traces to your export, and the forecast number is left for a person to commit.
Shared folder filing plan
The office coordinator gets a plan for tidying a shared folder: a proposed folder structure, every file's move with its owner named, and the duplicates and access questions to settle first. Owners approve their own moves; nothing is moved, renamed or deleted.
Shipment documentation check
When a job finishes, the shipping or quality lead gets one index comparing the order, the inspection records, the required certificates and the packing details, with each missing record and each quantity that does not agree set out. Nothing is certified or released.
Site safety induction pack
For one named site, the site, facilities or people lead gets an induction built from that site's own emergency arrangements, rules and hazards, with a short check of understanding, a sign-off record for each person and refresher dates by role. A competent person approves it and delivers it.
SOP exception capture
Turn what your most experienced person does with the awkward cases into an exception register for one procedure. Once the owner approves it, every colleague handles those cases the way your best person does.
