When you’re on your own, comms are easy.

You have a little conversation in your head, and you’re done.

Here though, with project mangers and operations teams and procurement and finance and development and management and every other job description that’s needed to do the things your team now does, there’s more of an overhead.

Sometimes, most times, almost every time, without lots of effort and training, the finger bone has no idea what’s needed by the foot bone or even that the hip bone is trying to help. It all connected, but not in any way that’s coordinated, or even coherent.

The answer?

Those comms.

A lot more talking. A lot more planning. A lot more of standing around a whiteboard and working things out together. A lot more sharing notes.

More effort? Yes.

The upside? Bigger things get done.

Skippy strategy: Talk, plan, do it again, and again.
