Notes on Implementation
-
Decision Escalation: When disagreement occurs at any level, the decision should be escalated to the next authority level.
-
Delegation: Authority holders may delegate specific decisions but retain accountability.
-
Documentation: All significant decisions must be documented with rationale, participants, and outcomes.
-
Review Process: This matrix should be reviewed annually or when significant organizational changes occur.
-
Emergency Decisions: In emergencies, decision-makers may act with expedited approval processes but must document and notify appropriate parties as soon as possible.
-
Decision Conflicts: When conflicts arise between parallel authority holders, the next higher level of authority will resolve the conflict.
