German colleagues expect communication to be organized. When presenting information or arguments, structure your material with clear logical flow—beginning, development, conclusion. Do not rely on your audience to organize fragmentary points; that is your job as the communicator.
This applies whether you are writing an email, presenting in a meeting, or explaining a problem. Unstructured communication may seem unprepared or unclear.
This does not mean rigid formality in every exchange, but when matters are substantive, organization matters. For important communications, take time to arrange your material logically before delivering it. Your German colleagues will be able to follow well-organized material efficiently and will appreciate the clarity. Disorganization signals that you have not thought through what you want to say.
