Make every handoff easier to own.

A working checklist for clear escalation, useful knowledge and accountable follow-through.

01

Capture the problem once

  • Record the customer issue, the actions already taken and the outcome needed.
  • Use the approved case system so the next owner can find the history.
  • Keep unnecessary personal details out of escalation summaries.
02

Name the next owner

  • Identify the team responsible for the next action.
  • Define when frontline support can resolve a case and when approval is required.
  • Agree the communication channel and response expectations with the receiving team.
03

Keep the customer informed

  • Explain what will happen next in plain language.
  • Use realistic updates based on the team’s actual response commitments.
  • Avoid marking a case resolved until the required action and confirmation are complete.
04

Improve the source of truth

  • Give each knowledge article an owner and last-reviewed date.
  • Include examples, exception paths and the approval boundary.
  • Use repeat contacts and reviewer feedback to identify unclear instructions.

General planning guidance. Scope and response commitments are agreed with the DEJOIY team.
