Use evidence, not optimism

A low score does not automatically mean the placement is failing. It signals where expectations, support or communication need attention.

30 · 60 · 90-day rhythm

Use each review for a different purpose

Keep the discussion outcome-led: what changed, what was learned, what is blocked and what should happen next.

Early-warning signals

Raise the issue while it can still be solved

Persistent ambiguity, inaccessible decision-makers, changing priorities without trade-offs, missing data or unresourced commitments can undermine even a strong appointment.

01Separate fact from interpretation

Document the specific event, impact, evidence and dependency.

02Raise it proportionately

Use the agreed manager, sponsor or governance route—not informal escalation.

03Propose a decision

Set out realistic options, trade-offs, ownership and a date for resolution.

Outcome evidence

Build a credible impact record

Record only accurate, non-confidential evidence. Respect employer data, intellectual property and information-security obligations.

Financial

Cash, margin, cost, forecast quality or decision improvement.

Control

Risk reduction, compliance, audit readiness or clearer ownership.

Operational

Cycle time, data quality, adoption, service or process resilience.

Capability

Team confidence, knowledge transfer, governance or sustainable ways of working.
