you should choose the defaults of your communication culture in such a way, that it works under the absolute worst conditions The defaults are sensible. Throw money at it and pay someone enough to sort things out and get it done, e.g. you as a freelancer get a data dump and ask the right question and the problem is solved. Sure it costs money. But everything costs money. Git works great among peers. But most organizations are hierarchical. And the boss doesn't have to give a shit about which draft is the latest because the boss is the boss. |

As a boss myself I have to say: I totally give a shit. Salaries are my company’s #1 expense by a wide margin. I don’t want my staff spending their time manually merging docs received via email when there are much better solutions out there. I hire people because they are smart and can get shit done that makes money, not because I want servants.
This is the killer app for Office 365 and google docs: stop wasting time emailing shit around, one canonical version even outside of company walls.
