Responsibilities
What stops if one person does not come back?
Every owner has a rough sense of this and almost none can produce the list. It is the combination of responsibilities, knowledge areas, access and relationships concentrated on a single person.
The whole concentration, not just the job title
Responsibilities owned, knowledge areas where they are the only expert, systems only they can reach and customer relationships only they hold — counted together.
Honest about what it is
This is a structural observation about the business, not an assessment of a person. The wording matters and the product keeps to it.
Options, not alarm
Name a backup, document the process, or accept the risk with a named decision-maker and a review date. All three are legitimate; leaving it undiscovered is not.
Responsibilities
The rest of this area.
The work the business depends on, as objects with owners rather than assumptions.
Ownership
One named owner per responsibility, and what that means in practice.
Backups
The second name, and the responsibilities that do not have one.
Escalation
Where a responsibility goes when the owner cannot resolve it.
Evidence
How you know a responsibility was actually discharged.
Recurring work
Monthly, quarterly and annual obligations that arrive whether you remember or not.
