Start by defining a small set of shared data responsibilities and principles, while preserving reversible autonomy boundaries: evidence shows the root causes of conflict have not been disaggregated (F6), the necessity of differences has not been proven (F4), and studios have raised disruption-risk concerns (F3). Under this uncertainty, a reversible, small-scope starting point is preferable to irreversible full centralization.
Decision owner in the teaching simulationGroup COO, in an independent educational simulation
Human-controlled next action
The decision owner (Group COO) convenes the data and risk team along with studio leads to first identify which data definitions/decisions are genuinely shared across studios, establish a minimal list of shared responsibilities with clear stop conditions, and maintain studio autonomy elsewhere.
What would reverse the recommendation
If diagnostic work (disaggregating the accountability/technology/capability/adoption risks referenced in F6) can be completed quickly and at low cost, and the results show that the root cause of the F5 inefficiency is truly the lack of common principles rather than technical or resource constraints, then a broader definition of shared responsibility should be adopted directly, rather than repeatedly testing with a reversible small-scope start. In that case, insisting on an incremental starting point would add unnecessary coordination cycles and time costs.
