Cover and move. Departments share responsibility for the whole.

technique — attributed to Iain Morrison

Lighting cannot function without staging. Staging cannot function without rigging. Audio depends on coordination across the entire technical structure. Departments that treat problems as belonging to someone else inevitably slow the whole production. When teams operate as if every department shares responsibility for the success of the event, coordination smooths and pressure spreads more evenly. The principle borrows from a different field but the physics is the same.

The cultural diagnostic for production teams where silo behavior has crept in.
