Enterprise Delegated Administration

Repeat / Review

Review the original thesis against results, choose one current state and make its capacity consequences explicit.

One Bet / the current decision

WE BELIEVED

Regional delegation would remove provisioning friction without excessive implementation effort.

WHAT HAPPENED

Cycle time improved 18%; implementation effort increased 31%. The problem remains credible; self-configuration is weakened.

KILL

Stop additional discretionary investment and manage existing obligations.

FIX

Fund one bounded intervention against the broken causal link, with an owner, capacity limit and new evidence date.

SCALE

Expand only when outcome, economics, readiness and guardrails support the next cohort.

CLOSE THE LOOP

Choose one current state. Record scope, owner, capacity movement, evidence target and next decision date. Observe or reposition only with explicit boundaries.
