Simon's Laws of Interorganizational Communication and Collaboration
Project charters are meaningless unless people, you know, actually follow them. Sadly, this isn't always the case.
Awhile back, a respected publisher contracted me to write a white paper for one of its international clients. On the surface, the project wasn't a stretch for me. After all, I've called myself a professional scribe for over a decade now. The topics also fell squarely in my wheelhouse: I had to fuse technology, analytics, productivity, and trends.
Still, it didn't take a rocket surgeon to identify the potential red flags:
- Different organizations.
- Different personnel at each organization.
- Different time zones.
- Different preferences for communication and collaboration tools.
- Different client visions for the content of the white paper. (I have seen this movie more times than I can count.)
