Ownership audit of six initiatives
The dataset separates the roles shown on paper from the roles able to act within the expected time frame.
| Initiative | Owner | Decision maker | Availability | Gap | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30-account ABM | PMM | CMO | 70% | Compliant | Keep |
| Onboarding redesign | Unnamed | VP Product | — | R missing | Assign within 5 days |
| Partner programme | Channel + sales | CMO | 40% | Shared R | Name one lead |
| CRM migration | Marketing ops | CIO | 15% | A unavailable | Delegate the gate |
| Brand study | Brand lead | CMO | 110% allocated | R overloaded | Rephase |
| Expert webinars | Content lead | CMO | 65% | Compliant | Keep |
01Three of the six initiatives cannot be governed, even though two of them have names attached.
02The CRM migration requires delegating the gate decision right, not just a new operational owner.
03The Brand lead’s workload turns a valid assignment into a schedule risk.
Fictitious data. Availability must be calculated over the period when the decision or the execution is required.
