Corporate event: team roles and handovers

Quick answer

What this page settles

A role title is not enough; each handover needs a ready signal, receiver and fallback. Use this page to create a business programme where every speaker and transition supports the outcome. The working record is message hierarchy, introductions, deck status and session cutoffs; the main failure to prevent is speaker overruns and late deck changes diluting the central message.
