Social contracts: Working out how to work together
Define disagreement, escalation and revision processes. Return to the task and evidence rather than personal labels during conflict.
Putting collaboration into practice
Clear ownership, shared material and decision records support collaboration. Synchronous discussion resolves disagreement while asynchronous records preserve continuity.
Checking the result
Test a real handover for completeness and continuity. State the issue, impact and decision needed instead of giving vague feedback.
