Review

Watershed do not leave an organisation stranded. A carefully designed handover ensures that "business as usual" can be restored as soon as possible. Success criteria are compared with the actual outcome so that learning points are captured for key staff in the organisation. These are compiled into a handover document, which ensures nothing is overlooked.
