What did I forget by working for the same company?
- codingdave 6y agoI've always tried to adjust the "At {Company X}, we..." statements because it distracts from the idea being presented and instead brings focus to which company was mentioned. By definition, that was a different company with different needs. The idea may still be a great one, but it needs to be evaluated in the current context. I encourage my teams to bring in those insights, but we tend to settle on the phrase, "In a prior life, we...", as that phrasing lets us know that it has worked for other companies, but keeps the focus on the idea itself.
