Everything Is Negotiable

< 1 min read

Definition #

Every transfer of scope, authority, or expectation between two roles in the operation is the artifact of a negotiation between the two parties. There are no terms that are off the table. The scope doc is negotiated. The cadence of renegotiation is negotiated. Authority lines, designation rights, escalation paths, override conditions — all on the table. Universal application: all roles. Wherever two roles meet at a transfer of scope, authority, or expectation, the meeting is negotiated. The doc is the lock of the negotiation — whatever was agreed, written down, signed off. Silence is not delegation. If it isn’t in the doc, it wasn’t agreed.
