If you have worked in any large organization for a long period of time then you have lots of stories about what can go wrong and hopefully quite a few about how to do things right.
You can talk about people making decisions based on gut feel rather than facts and the times when this was successful and when it was a disaster.
You can talk about failures to communicate and (perhaps harder) when a message was shared well.
But all the stories are about real situations and real people, even if you disguise the story it can be very obvious who you are talking about, especially in a small industry and these days everything is a small industry.
Posting real stories is fraught with difficulties, they may make your company look bad but worse may make individuals look bad (or perceive that they look bad).
So what's the solution?
Wait till you move on?
Change the story so it has little reality left in it?
Become a consultant and work with multiple companies and blend the stories?
I don't know. So far most my postings and comments on others' postings have been pretty generic so I'm still playing it safe.
Any thoughts?
