How to move a process in-house without it collapsing the month the agency leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written for<\/strong> Teams who want to run their own marketing and have tried once before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottleneck<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Handover usually means a training session and a document. Three months later the process has stopped, because nobody accounted for the fact that the client team has other jobs and no habit of doing this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capability transfers when the receiving team does the work while support is still available, not when they are shown how it is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it happens, five levels down<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. The in-house process stops a few months after handover.<\/strong>Why? It was never actually run by the client team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. They were trained but did not practise.<\/strong>Why? Handover was scheduled as an event at the end.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. It was treated as a final deliverable.<\/strong>Why? The commercial model rewards delivery, not transfer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Transfer is not what the engagement was sold on.<\/strong>Why? Nobody defined independence as a success measure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Independence was never a deliverable.<\/strong>Root cause. Make it one and the engagement is designed differently from day one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The diagnostic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Run this before planning any work. It tells you whether this is your constraint or whether something else is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
