I hear you on the risks of moving too fast without governance. But isn’t there also value in experimenting with AI to learn what works and what doesn’t? How do you see leaders drawing the line between healthy experimentation and reckless adoption?

White papers aren’t about sounding smart. They’re about being useful.
Write to earn trust, guide decisions, and move people forward.

Always write with the next step in mind.
Every white paper should lead somewhere. Whether it’s booking a consult, exploring a tool, or trying a strategy from the report. make the path clear. Don’t just inform. Invite action!

9. Make it actionable.
Checklists, decision trees, frameworks, next steps, etc. give them something to use, not just read. (That’s what turns a reader into a lead.)

8. Format for skimming.
Use informative headings. Short paragraphs. Bold takeaways. Highlighted key terminology. Assume most people are reading this between meetings.

7. Cite your claims. Always.
Back it up. Pull recent, reliable sources, especially if you’re making strong claims about ROI, risk, or innovation. Trust and transparency is everything.

6. Use examples they can see themselves in.
Real use cases (always cite), fictional business scenarios (realistic examples based on fact), whatever helps your reader visualize the value.

5. Speak like a professional, not a Wikipedia entry.
Ditch the jargon wall. Write like you’re explaining this to a smart friend who’s unfamiliar, but curious. Clear ≠ dumbed down.

4. Research > writing.
I never start with a blank doc. I gather use cases, frameworks, competitor angles, terminology related to the subject i’m writing about. This makes writing way faster and more useful to your audience.

3. Use a working title and an outline as your compass.
Even if you change it later, a clear, sharp title keeps your ideas aligned and your scope focused. Prevents you from drifting into unrelated tangents.

2. Anchor the content with a real problem.
No vague “thought leadership.” Define the actual issue they’re facing and cite credible sources! If you can’t answer “Why would a decision-maker read this now?”you’re not ready.

1. Start with the reader.
Is this for a CEO? A technical lead? Someone choosing between 5 vendors? Your entire tone, depth, and argument hinges on knowing WHO this is for.

This!!! Just because computers now have “intelligence” does NOT mean that they have taste. AI slop can’t match up to human uniqueness

Love this take. I try to be very strategic about when I am using Gen AI. Not to sound like a pessimist, buuut, using it for the sake of fast outputs runs the risk of AI slop and mechanized convergence.
