Who answers when something goes wrong

Every engagement has one escalation path, written into the SOW. Each step takes over only when the step before it has not resolved the issue.

  1. Squad Lead

    Day-to-day delivery questions, inside the squad.

  2. Governance Officer

    Independent of the squad; quality gates, SLA breaches and replacement requests.

  3. Head of Delivery

    Anything the Governance Officer cannot close.

  4. Chairman

    Commercial or contractual issues at executive level, through the chairman’s office.

The chairman’s step is reached only when the three steps before it have not closed the issue. The name behind each role is listed on this page.

Advisory board

An advisory board of 3 to 5 members from banking, government and technology. Members are announced on this page as each appointment is confirmed.
