REQUEST AND ACTION REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make a business request easier to understand before deciding what should happen next.

Clarify a person’s request, identify what information may help, and prepare a bounded research plan or proposed next step. Keep the request and evidence visible, use only approved information and actions, and require an authorized person to confirm identity, scope, and impact before any external, financial, public, or access-sensitive action proceeds.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A request from a person authorized to ask for information or propose a business task

“Interpret the request, gather relevant permitted context, and prepare an action proposal while keeping consequential decisions and execution under human approval.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a team understand changing requests and organize information or follow-up before an action is taken.

  1. Clarify what the requester needs

    Summarize the goal, expected result, and any missing details without assuming the person’s intent.

  2. Confirm identity and allowed scope

    Check that the requester may access the relevant information or propose the requested kind of work.

  3. Gather relevant permitted context

    Use appropriate information for the stated purpose and keep source details available for review.

  4. Prepare a bounded next-step proposal

    Explain what could happen next, what information supports it, and what remains uncertain or requires approval.

  5. Require approval for consequential actions

    Have an authorized owner approve the exact action before public communication, spending, record changes, or access-sensitive work proceeds.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A request summary with supporting information, proposed next steps, and any permissions or approvals still needed.

The handoff

A request summary with supporting information, proposed next steps, and any permissions or approvals still needed.

Keep in mind

A request can be ambiguous, impersonated, or outside the requester’s authority. Confirm identity and permitted scope, avoid exposing restricted information, and keep financial, public, account-access, and other consequential actions paused until an authorized person reviews and approves the exact action.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define requests and information in scope

Choose the request types, approved information, and intended purposes the team may handle.

Set identity and permission checks

Specify how a requester’s identity and authority are confirmed before information is shared or work is proposed.

Keep consequential work on hold

List external, financial, public, and access-sensitive actions that always require a person’s approval.

Assign action owners and escalation paths

Name who reviews proposals, handles uncertainty, and may authorize a specific next step.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
