English term or phrase: cob
In meinem Text geht es um Konfliktmanagement. Und da sind einige Anweisungen, was das Management tun kann, um Konflikte gar nicht aufkommen zu lassen:

Key Managerial Actions / Structures to Minimize Conflicts
1. Regularly review job descriptions. Get your employee's input to them. Write down and date job descriptions. Ensure:
a. Job roles don't **cob**. No tasks "fall in a crack".
2. Intentionally build relationships with all subordinates.
a. Meet at least once a month alone with them in office.
b. Ask about accomplishments, challenges and issues.


Ich kenne den Ausdruck nicht, und hab ihn auch in keinem WB gefunden (zumindest nicht in dem Kontext!). Hoffe, es kann mir jemand helfen! Schon mal danke im Voraus!

This seems to be the text you are working on. I think all it means jobes don't conflict. I couldn't find any explanation for "cob" as such

  -> thanks, Dr. Watson:)/ Nicole is the expert here
agree  Peter Downes: I think your description works well, "close of business" does not work very well in the grammatical sentence structure. Create office barriers or any other suggestions would be feasible for such an abbreviation!!!
