NIGYYSOB

What's that? Your first reaction for sure. That term is the underlying philosophy of how organisational teams work, and this has been ideally helped by a simple technology process called the email.



This is how it works. A sends an email to B since its B's job. B disagrees on the approach and sends a reply to A and marks a copy to C. There is a brief period of silence after which A again instigates B and does a reply all, therefore ensuring that C gets a reply too. Now C sends in a "reply all" including D, F, G, H. Subsequently H, sends a mail only to C and A and changes the Subject Heading. Now in turn C does a reply all on the second trail and therefore B is now out of the loop. The trail grows bigger and finally again A sends an one to one mail to B. B shows ignorance. A takes out a copy of firssst mail and and then the second and says NIGYYSOB.


Its not all that complicated for people who are used to email and other discussion board types of activities. Nowadays we have to keep track of emails, discussion boards, project plans, forums, group emails, impromptu corridor decisions irrespective of quorums, etc etc. That's life.



Oh by the way, what's NIGYYSOB?
