We were discussing an office technology problem. It seemed that a firm that had handled one aspect of it had been dropped and another firm given that task but that was only a partial solution because there were other components that had been the responsibility of a company which had been taken over by another company and still another company had its hands on another component, but no, they too were replaced, perhaps, because we're not entirely sure of that part, and so at the end of the discussion it was agreed that we needed to get everyone together in the same room and draw a map.
I used to smile when I heard about corporate historians. No more. What you think is unforgettable stuff - facts that are embedded in your DNA - will be a wisp of a wisp in a few years and when you mention it people will say, "Uh?" and you will be thinking, "A paragraph! If I'd only written a simple paragraph!"
