OCV Employees

Handbook for internal OCV policies and operations.

The OCV Employee Handbook is our central repository for how we run our brand.

We follow a handbook-first approach. The advantages of a handbook-first approach are well documented. When a decision or recommendation is made, the first action item is to document the change in the handbook. Decisions aren’t final until they are in the handbook.

Directly responsible individual (DRI)

We use the directly responsible individual (DRI) decision-making framework over consensus-based decision-making.

1. Each project has a single DRI. The DRI is ultimately accountable for the success or failure of the project. They make the final decision.

2. DRIs ask for help. It’s up to the DRI to pull in the resources and information necessary to complete the project. A DRI rarely completes a project on their own. They consult and collaborate with necessary stakeholders and provide reasonable timelines for contribution. A DRI is not obligated to act on feedback or input because it was given.

3. DRIs make the final decision. They are responsible for providing relevant context when sharing final decisions. However, DRIs do not need to build consensus around the decision.

4. Disagree and commit. You may disagree with the decision of a DRI and respectfully voice your opinion, but you cannot refuse to participate due to a disagreement.
