Share how this applies in practice

A review without ownership and verification does not close the management loop.

The hotel discusses the same cost and cash issues every month, but no one can show what was agreed or whether the action worked. What should change?

Record each material issue, decision, action owner, due date, expected effect and verification date; keep unresolved items open and escalate repeated exceptions.
