Is There a Cost to Thought?

How much of what organizations call “thinking” is actually rebuilding context that was lost when information moved from one team to another?

If the definitions were clear and the logic were written down, how many of those questions would already have answers?

Every transaction should begin with full context: who, what, where, when, why, how. But how much of that context survives the way information is actually captured and handed off?

How much time and money are spent within an organization to reconstruct this missing context?
