When business partners create conflicting written records of shared company history

My business partner and I have been documenting our company's evolution through detailed written records but we're realizing we emphasize completely different aspects - I focus on challenges while they highlight successes, and our external memory is becoming two separate narratives. We're worried that future team members will get confused by our contradictory documentation of the same journey.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Partners discover that their different orientations toward memory create external documentation that tells competing stories of the same reality.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Writing and the externalization of memory?”
