Thanks for the comment. I agree; it can be difficult to initiate change. It’s easier for some to let things stay as they are, for various reasons. However, I am reminded of the old adage that the only constant is change, and I believe that everything should be looked at anew. Like it or not, change is here in a major way. My hope is that tech writers will step back and start rethinking standards, to determine how to adapt writing styles and methodologies to address the new realities.

I agree that this is a very sensible and practical approach to writing procedures.

I’ve tried to get this approach endorsed at a former company and was shot down.

Why?

Because, the way it is is the way it is…

Some people are really terrified with the idea of change.

You folks are heading in the right direction, for sure.

Congrats.
