Briefing makes remuneration fair
Briefing protects us from working against the wrong objectives. Agreement in writing is essential to have shared clarity of purpose.
Efficiency is achieved by clear aims and focus of effort. The view that not writing a brief is faster, assumes that faster to the first presentation of an idea is the aim, rather than faster to agreed work. Saving time in the short term is often a false economy.
Briefing requirements
- What indicates performance?
- Which information is necessary to complete the task?
- Where are we now?
- Where do we want to be?
- What are we doing to get there?
- Who do we need to talk to?
- How will we know when we have arrived?
Written briefs lay out what the delivering party is expected to deliver in a measurable way. Without mutually agreed objectives, the partner’s work can only be evaluated subjectively, leading to dissatisfaction. ????
The briefing for more complex projects
Without a written brief the work can be creatively brilliant and extremely effective in working against the wrong objectives. Agreement in writing is essential to have shared clarity of purpose.
