General Discussion

Management - probably after hearing a presentation at one of their executive brainstorming retreats at a resort in Arizona or Colorado that they liked to do to get away from Texas - decided that all communication regarding issues or problems be sent in an SBAR format. For me, that turned the process of a simple 5-minute email to alert the first level of supervision into 30 minutes of making sure all the boxes of the format were checked and the language was couched in vocabulary clearly understandable by average 8th graders.

Having this as a tool to meet the imposed communication format would've still required me to critically read and edit the email before sending it. I'm not crazy enough to put absolute trust in the output. It's like Excel, that can autofill and calculate happily, but you're going to review the damned spreadsheet to see it what it did makes any sense.

The biggest risk personally would be the temptation to quantify the request to tools like this with the phrase "...in the style of Elmer Fudd", and accidentally send it.
