Fix Before You Replace: Smart Appliance Repair Tips

The word “escalation” is worth pausing on. When an incident triggers and the first person doesn’t respond, the incident doesn’t sit and wait. It moves to the next person and keeps moving until someone picks it up. That forward movement is the escalation.

A compass for designing your escalation policy

The first time you sit down to design an escalation policy, it can feel a little like a crossroads. You know incidents need to reach the right people.
