[ Remember ]

A post-workshop report tries to capture the events of the workshop discussion.  But the truth is, the context is lost, and with that loss, some of the value of the report is lost.

The goal of the report is partly memory jogger, to help attendees remember the discussion. Sufficiently capturing context for someone who wasn’t there, that needs different skills. And then, it gets even more difficult when time passes between the workshop and the report.  Even if the report is written in a timely matter, coming back to read it months later sometimes leaves everyone wondering what went on.
