I ask a lot of questions. Journalism + market research + product strategy. 25+ years in B2B & software consulting. Most likely to win “frameworks” trivia.
Here’s my memo framework - works like a charm. I didn’t invent this. The Navy did & healthcare practitioners use it to communicate in high stress / no time situations.
1 / situation - one sentence of the idea, problem etc plainly stated.
2/ background - relevant facts that give needed context
3/ assessment - what needs to happen.3 things max
4/ recommendation - budget, timeline, people needed & metrics that measure success or failure
Share one pager ideas with me too. I am always thinking about how to make mine better
@KateBour Old school p90xer here. My husband and I had the workouts & sayings memorized. Perfect for when we had a tiny baby. Muscle confusion was brilliant marketing!
@Nicolascole77 And you are a great teacher of the craft - thank you. The tools help us build systems and habits to support. Any time I try to “cheat” and use AI to draft, regret it.
