The reality is that such approaches are rarely sustainable, and almost never scalable. - Instead, what we can do is take a step back and try to come up with a process that is as general as possible, so as to leave room for creative or intuitive reactions, without compromising on the essential elements of the process. - Finding out what is essential can be a difficulty in itself, but it's a good exercise to go through regardless. It's important to raise these questions with your team about what actually matters, instead of what you think does. - Getting things to the point where they are process-driven but not impersonal is a fine line to walk. - "`The slip-box is the shipping container of the academic world. Instead of having different storage for different ideas, everything goes into the same slip-box and is standardised into the same format.
