Org Writing Practices

Some writing practices that are more applicable to an organizational (company, etc) context than an individual/personal.... a subtype of collaborationware

Note that

• you don't want to necessarily do all of these
• you should evaluate each in terms of the job to be done - what problem is this solving/preventing?
• "quality" is crucial: creating templates which get filled in with sloppy thinking aren't helpful, they actually make things worse. Loop back to the job to be done.
  • every ThinkingTool is 80% used as a Not-Thinking Tool
  • cf (2022-04-09) Cohen Failure To Face The Truth Vs Four Books
  • a group process of co-editing or at least feedback/iteration is crucial
• these should all be stored, or least linked-to (with summary/pitch to make them findable), in the TeamWiki.
• the meta-goal is to build, and collaborate-within, a Shared Language
• writing/words isn't the only/best medium: diagrams, models, pros-and-cons table, etc.
  • literacy, numeracy, etc.
