Where Coordination Friction Accumulates
Move from vague friction complaints to precise interface breakdowns.
Handoff Breakdown
Work, deliverables, or specifications do not transfer cleanly enough across boundaries for dependent teams to execute.
Priority Interpretation
Different functions interpret shared strategic priorities differently or repeatedly renegotiate them mid-execution.
Executive Escalation
Issues repeatedly move upward to the CEO or sponsor because peer resolution and decision rights are insufficient.
Relationship Load
Routine coordination requires excess emotional repair, political navigation, or protective back-channel communication.
Unproductive Conflict
Disagreements and friction consume executive capacity without improving cross-functional decisions or outcomes.
Commitment Clarity
Ownership, milestone dates, dependencies, and completion standards are understood differently across functions.
Decision Reopening
Settled executive decisions are revisited, delayed, or relitigated without materially new operating evidence.
