The Framework Behind It
Rooted in the Ownership Map
You can delegate the work. You cannot delegate the accountability.
Every programme on this page is an application of the same five-layer framework: Money, Control, Decision, Accountability, Continuity. It is not generic training dressed up with your name on it.
It is the same lens Mayank uses in his own advisory practice, adapted into a session your team can sit through together.
