Build transactive memory within teams—shared knowledge…
Build transactive memory within teams—shared knowledge of who knows what—to reduce coordination overhead by enabling efficient delegation rather than requiring consensus on every decision.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from The mind operates as multiple semi-autonomous processes… (multiple agents), Expertise as Domain-Specific Schema Organization (expertise is domain-specific schemas), and The behavior of a system arises from its structure… (structure determines behavior). The principle: given that coordination is costly and expertise is distributed, transactive memory enables pattern-switching from expensive consensus to efficient routing. This is prescriptive.
