What Exception Management means

The process for handling work that falls outside normal rules or expected status.

Exception management identifies items that need special review because they are late, ambiguous, risky, blocked, or materially different from routine work. It helps managers focus attention where judgment is needed.

How this connects

From the book to the operating plan

Exception Management connects to Chapter 4: Listening and Communication in Property Management Excellence. The operating takeaway for owners is: Cadence creates accountability before drift becomes expensive.
