OUTCOME-BASED ROUTING · Workflow idea

Give each result a clear next step.

Use an agreed result or status to direct work to the right review path. Make the reason for each route clear and hold unexpected outcomes for someone to resolve.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A result or status produced by a team process

“Match a supplied result to the team’s agreed next step and send unclear or unrecognized outcomes to a person for review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps teams turn consistent outcomes into useful follow-up paths without making assumptions about results the team has not defined.

  1. Read the reported outcome

    Use the result provided by the process and retain the context needed to understand what it refers to.

  2. Match it to an agreed category

    Compare the outcome with categories the team has already defined instead of interpreting an unfamiliar result as a known one.

  3. Prepare the appropriate follow-up

    Make the relevant work or review path clear to the people responsible for the next step.

  4. Hold unexpected results for review

    Bring missing, conflicting, or unfamiliar outcomes to a person who can decide how they should be handled.

  5. Confirm consequential actions

    Require an authorized person to review any route that could affect a customer, finances, or public communication.

  6. Keep the decision visible

    Record the chosen route and any human resolution so teammates understand what happened.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

Work organized under a relevant next step, with exceptions visible for human decision rather than silently treated as routine.

The handoff

Work organized under a relevant next step, with exceptions visible for human decision rather than silently treated as routine.

Keep in mind

Confirm the meaning of each result before using it to make a customer-facing, financial, or otherwise consequential decision. Have an authorized person approve any external action.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define recognized outcomes

Write down the results the team expects and the meaning it assigns to each one.

Choose an owner for each next step

Identify who receives routine work and who resolves exceptions or unclear results.

Set approval boundaries

Specify which outcomes need a person’s approval before a financial, customer-facing, or public action.

Test known and unknown cases

Check each defined outcome and an unfamiliar one to ensure the right path is clear and exceptions remain visible.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
