How many ideas are in the title?
There are two separate ideas in the title:
1. The first is to deliberately build a shared vocabulary
2. The second is to build a vocabulary of very specific terms that represent effective ways of working.
Why is a shared vocabulary useful?
It quickly communicates the intention of the speaker and the listener quickly understands what's being communicated.
What's a more effective way of saying "terms that represent effective ways of working"?
Say ewow words instead; the word ewow stands for effective ways of working.
What is the take-away from this post?
The thing to do then is as follows:
1. Identify an effective way of working from studying cases where it has been used.
2. Associate an ewow term with the identified effective way of working
3. Use the ewow term individually and in groups and communities
Other open questions:
What are cases of shared vocabulary contributing to success?
- I'd imagine in highly specialized activities e.g. surgical rooms or air traffic control
What are cases of not using shared vocabulary contributing to failure?
- Cases of failure from misunderstanding - would a shared vocabulary have helped?
What are cases of using ewow words contributing to success?
- I'd look for highly effective teams with some ewow terms e.g. extreme programming practices?
What are cases of not using ewow words contributing to failure?
- Need some work here.

Inline #keywords are useful
Memiary's design involves using inline keywords to tag a post which i think is a fantastic idea.
Inlining in general is a better because it lowers friction.

Compounding is an order of magnitude better
Compounding is better
Compounding is not just better, but it is orders of magnitude better.Choose the idea that compounds
Occasionally, we are faced with choosing between two alternatives which are both better than the status quo. But which is the better alternative. Compounding offers one way out i.e. amongst competing ideas that are better, choose the one that compounds.
