Mode Behaviors

CREATE: Generate complete new ownership map using template below.

UPDATE:

2. Preserve ownership history
3. Update owners, handoffs, or gap status
4. Show diff summary

FIND: Check registry, then search user's folders for ownership maps.

Gotchas

• Every deliverable must have exactly ONE owner — co-ownership is no ownership
• Accountability gaps (no owner) are P0 findings — flag immediately
• Owner must have authority to make decisions, not just responsibility to do work

Map end-to-end ownership for an initiative, validating accountability chains across all Vision to Value phases.

Vision to Value Phase

Cross-phase - This skill validates Principle #1 (End-to-End Ownership) at any phase transition, especially before Phase 3 commitments.

Purpose

End-to-end ownership means a single person is accountable from strategic intent through customer value realization. This skill maps that accountability chain and identifies any gaps or "orphan" handoffs.

## Red Flags

- [ ] "The team" is listed as owner (must be a person)
- [ ] Ownership stops at delivery without outcome accountability
- [ ] Handoff without clear transfer of accountability
- [ ] No one owns customer success metrics
- [ ] Phase 5/6 owners not identified

## Assessment

**End-to-End Ownership Score**: [Strong/Adequate/Weak]

**Rationale**: [Why this assessment]

## Recommendations

1. [Action to strengthen ownership]
2. [Action to close gaps]
3. [Action to improve handoffs]

Instructions

1. Ask what initiative or deliverable to map ownership for
2. Identify the current Vision to Value phase
3. Map owners for each phase's relevant deliverables
4. Identify the single end-to-end accountable owner
5. Document all handoff points
6. Flag any ownership gaps or red flags
7. Provide assessment and recommendations

Validation Questions

When mapping ownership, verify:

• Is there ONE person (not a team) accountable for overall success?
• Does accountability extend from strategy through outcomes?
• Are all handoffs accompanied by clear ownership transfer?
• Is someone accountable for Phase 5 & 6 (outcomes and learning)?

Red Flag Triggers

Immediately flag if:

• "Team" or "Committee" is listed as owner
• Ownership chain stops at Phase 4 (delivery)
• Any phase has no identified owner
• Handoffs lack explicit accountability transfer

Operating Principle

"End-to-end ownership means a name, not a team. If everyone is responsible, no one is responsible."
