The role-based ownership stopped the blame game
Every negative review used to trigger a round of 'who was supposed to handle this?' Now every review has an owner assigned by role and location. There is no ambiguity. The team adapted quickly because the system is fair and transparent. It is amazing how much friction disappears when responsibility is explicit.
Nathan, the "who was supposed to handle this?" conversation is something almost every multi-location team we talk to has been through. Assigning an owner by role and location the moment a review lands removes that question completely. Glad the team took to it so quickly, and thanks for writing this up.
