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
- Rule-Based Routing
- Time-Based Distribution
- Context-Aware Distribution
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
Platform-Specific Export Strategies

- Client communication and reporting
- Resource planning and allocation systems
Knowledge Management Systems
Wiki/Documentation
Content Types: Process documentation, decision records, best practices Format Requirements: Structured headings, searchable content, linked references Maintenance Strategy: Regular updates, version control, collaborative editingPersonal Knowledge Base
Content Types: Learning notes, insights, connections, referencesOrganization Strategy: Tagging, linking, categorization, temporal tracking Retrieval Optimization: Search-friendly formatting, consistent structure
Team Collaboration Platforms
Slack/Teams Integration
Slack/Teams Integration
Channel Strategy:
- Project channels: Status updates, decisions, coordination
- Topic channels: Insights, learning, industry trends
- Direct messages: Personal updates, sensitive information
- Leadership channels: Strategic updates, escalations, decision requests
- Use thread replies for detailed information
- Lead with key points, provide details in threads

- Link to detailed information when needed
- Daily standup updates from planning sessions
- Project milestone notifications from status reviews
- Learning shares from insight captures
- Decision notifications from meeting notes

Historical Context Addition
When Exporting:
- Include relevant background information
- Reference previous decisions and their outcomes
- Connect to ongoing projects and initiatives
- Provide timeline and milestone context
- Link to related documents and resources
- Maintain relationship databases for context retrieval

Predictive Information Addition
Predictive Information Addition
Anticipate Recipient Needs:
- Likely questions and provide preemptive answers
- Next steps and logical follow-up actions
- Resource requirements and availability
- Timeline implications and dependencies
- Alternative approaches and backup plans

The Feedback Loop Integration
1
Export with Feedback Mechanisms
Include ways for recipients to respond, ask questions, or provide input
2
Track Engagement and Usage
Monitor which exports get attention and which are ignored
3
