Collaboration & Comments

Real-time collaboration and contextual feedback that turns scattered discussions into documented decisions — right where your strategy lives.

Overview

I built collaboration directly into every strategy board because I've watched too many brilliant ideas get lost in email threads and meeting notes. Instead of switching between Slack, email, and slide decks, your team discusses ideas exactly where they matter — on the board itself. Comments attach to specific elements, decisions get documented in context, and everyone sees updates in real time. Whether you're running a workshop with clients or aligning leadership on strategic direction, you work together in one shared view. No more "which version is current?" or "what did we decide about that?"

Key Capabilities

Contextual comments and threads

Attach discussions directly to board elements — trends, scenarios, or strategic choices. Every comment stays connected to what it's about, so feedback never gets lost or misattributed.

Real-time collaboration and presence

See who's viewing and editing the board right now. Changes appear instantly for everyone, so workshop participants and remote teams work together without sync delays or version conflicts.

Decision documentation

Mark comments as decisions or action items to create a clear record of reasoning. When someone asks "why did we choose this path?" six months later, the answer lives right there in the board.

Stakeholder permissions and control

Invite clients, board members, or cross-functional leads with appropriate access levels. They contribute where needed without accessing your entire workspace or other client projects.

Use Cases

Workshop facilitation

A consultant runs a strategy session with twelve stakeholders from different departments. Instead of capturing ideas on sticky notes or whiteboards, participants comment directly on the shared board. Key insights get flagged, objections get addressed in context, and by session end, there's a complete record of both the strategy and the reasoning behind it.

Asynchronous review cycles

A Chief Strategy Officer shares a draft scenario map with the leadership team before the quarterly review. Executives add comments and questions on specific assumptions throughout the week. The CSO addresses feedback and refines the strategy before the meeting, turning what would have been a two-hour debate into a focused twenty-minute decision session.

Client collaboration and sign-off

An independent strategist develops a market entry strategy and invites the client's leadership team to review. They comment on risk factors, query assumptions, and suggest refinements. The consultant addresses feedback transparently, and when the client approves, there's a documented trail showing exactly what was agreed and why — no ambiguity, no scope creep.

Why It Matters

Strategy fails when context gets lost in translation. Every time you move a discussion from the strategy artefact into email or a separate tool, you risk misalignment and forgotten decisions. I built this collaboration layer so your reasoning and your strategy live together. When decisions are documented in context, teams stay aligned, stakeholders understand the logic, and six months later you're not rebuilding institutional knowledge from scratch. This is how strategy becomes a living process, not a static document that immediately goes stale.
