A common situation

Illustrative scenario: A manager receives a daily report but still has to call the team when customers ask questions. The existing content does not provide the status he needs. The report's questions need fixing before its delivery frequency increases.

Three steps you can try

  1. Review the questions that regularly require phone calls.
  2. Add the relevant statuses.
  3. Agree on when the data is updated.

What to remember

Distinguish reports for recordkeeping from reports for running operations. ACC wants to understand which decisions recipients need to make before designing outputs. What matters is not simply sending reports on time, but providing sufficient information when it is needed.

This is a hypothetical illustration, not an ACC customer testimonial or project result.
