 Learning Objectives

Why this workshop?

The “best” content management system you can buy will not help you if you do not know what information is most important for your organization. Your CM system will completely fail if you have not figured out how you can effectively collect and distribute that important information.

A content strategy identifies important information and how you can manage it. By the end of the workshop you should be able to convincingly argue for the adoption and use of such a strategy in your own organization and have a good start on your own content strategy:

• What is a content strategy and how can you create one?
• What goals does your organization have?
• Which are the most important groups for you to work with in your organization?
• Who do you need on your team to make sure your systems are a success?
• ...

These and other questions will be discussed during our 1-day Content Management Workshop with Bob Boiko. Bob has more than 20 years experience helping organizations to create, manage, and distribute their content more efficiently. He will present a number of valuable concepts and practices and illustrate them in real-life exercises. The workshop is CMS-system independent, but the insight you gain, will help you to better make decisions on any CMS you decide to build or buy.

Included in the workshop is Bob's "Laughing at the CIO", "A Parable and Prescription for IT Leadership". Bob calls it "a prescription for IT executives and professionals who are sick of suffering through a never-ending stream of technology “solutions” that never really solve anything. "

Who should attend this seminar ?

• CIO's
• Decision makers on Information Management in general, and Content Management in particular.
• People defining the company's strategy on information and content management, not necessarily people with day-to-day operational responsability
