I talk about mktg comms because I have worked at places where angry customers got earnest letters promising changes, but the manager expected to implement the changes said "No, we're not doing that!" Or "OK" but nothing happened. So I don't give much credit for promises, even when it was the right thing to promise.

Giving your ticket punchers authority is good when they are authorized to do what customers need to get or keep going. Giving them authority to eliminate customers, not so much.

I have to agree with the commenters who say it was an exemplary postmortem.

Hospitals have been doing formal postmortems for many years, but the number of them didn't start down until they instituted checklists.
