Export Strategy Framework
Understanding Export Objectives
Distribution Goals
Team Collaboration: Share insights and decisions with stakeholders System Integration: Feed information into task managers, CRMs, wikis Archival: Create searchable, permanent records for future reference Communication: Transform internal thoughts into external communicationsFormat Considerations
Recipient Needs: What format works best for the end user? Tool Compatibility: What formats integrate well with destination systems? Content Longevity: What formats ensure long-term accessibility? Processing Requirements: What level of polish and formatting is needed?The Export Decision Tree
1
Identify Recipients
Who needs this information? (Self, team members, clients, systems)
2
Determine Purpose
Why are you sharing? (Action, information, decision, archive)
3
Choose Format
What format serves the purpose best? (Email, document, task, message)
4
Select Channel
Where should it go? (Direct communication, shared system, public space)
5
Time Distribution
When should it be delivered? (Immediate, scheduled, event-triggered)
Core Export Strategies
The Multi-Format Approach
Single Source, Multiple Outputs
Single Source, Multiple Outputs
Use Case: Important content that serves different audiencesExample Scenario: Client meeting notes that need to reach multiple stakeholdersExport Plan:
- Executive Summary → Email to leadership (2-3 bullet points)
- Detailed Notes → Project management system (full context)
- Action Items → Task assignments for team members
- Client Follow-up → Professional summary for client communication
- Archive Version → Knowledge base for future reference
- Use custom instructions to generate multiple formats simultaneously
- Create templates for each audience type
- Maintain consistent core message across all formats
- Tailor detail level and language for each recipient
Progressive Disclosure Strategy
Progressive Disclosure Strategy
Use Case: Complex information that needs different detail levelsLayered Export Structure:
- Headline (Twitter/Slack): One sentence key takeaway
- Executive Brief (Email): 3-5 bullet points with context
- Detailed Analysis (Document): Full reasoning and supporting information
- Reference Material (Knowledge Base): Complete background and links
- Start with comprehensive voice capture
- Use AI processing to create summary layers
- Link between layers for those wanting more detail
- Maintain consistent messaging across all levels
The Automated Distribution Strategy
Tag-Based Distribution:
#urgent→ Immediate Slack notification#client→ CRM update and client communication draft#team→ Project channel post and task creation#learning→ Knowledge base addition and team sharing
- Meeting notes → Attendees notification and calendar updates
- Decision records → Stakeholder communication and archive
- Action items → Task assignments and deadline tracking
- Insights → Knowledge base and innovation pipeline
