- 57. Tomasz has to be free to wander the paths we create, create his own, or tell us why a path is broken and should lead somewhere else...
- 58. Documentation isn’t about creating certainty, it’s about finding a way to manage uncertainty and change in the world around us
- 59. The big challenges… Get more visitors Do more stuff Make more money Be loved by our supporters Stay relevant Stay interesting …have big solutions Be true to our cultural values Make relationships Share the workload Be open to new knowledge Be confident & excited about our role
- 60. Tomasz (and 7bn of his friends) trust us to look after their culture because we do the job properly.
- 62. Decisions about what to do and how to do it become a lot simpler when you think about Tomasz... He’d want us to collect the important stuff He’d want us to look after it He’d want to be able to find and use it online He’d want us to welcome him and his friends He’d want to know he can trust us
- 63. That’s how documentation makes us relevant
