A mission is that which gives us purpose. In movies and books, the entire plot generally centers around the protagonist's mission. In real life, however, we often limit our understanding of "mission-driven" work to charities and non-profits. In reality, every designer can seize the opportunity to do work with greater meaning.
This talk is a practical guide to defining and understanding the mission that your work serves, whether you design for a tiny non-profit or the largest technology company. We'll look at successful examples of mission-driven design from both the non-profit and commercial sectors, and discuss methods for infusing this perspective into your own work. Ultimately, this session will give you the tools to become more purposeful
in everything that you design.

Print and beyond insights transforming the enterprise print room in the new...Roger Christiansen
Like many areas of the print industry, the traditional in-house Print Room or CRD has to move with the times to thrive and continue to provide valuable communication tools and services that their clients and organisation requires.
The growth of digital communications is reshaping the print market, and is impacting the use of print and the production methods used to deliver it.
These changes are creating opportunities for Print Rooms not only to win business from outsourced print providers but also to redefine their role within the enterprise.

Thought leadership and content marketing: how to build a newsroomFINN
http://finnpr.com - The benefits of content marketing, inbound marketing and thought leadership are clear. High quality content is a proven way to increase the reputation of a company, generate leads or drive sales.
It can help establish organization leaders as visionaries in their industry, to increase their influence and it can help your organization to make its point to key stakeholders like politicians, regulators and customers.
Almost any reputational or marketing goal can be (at least partly) achieved through the creation of smart, timely content. Also, content marketing and thought leadership are great for SEO.
Guest blogs and op-eds that we have co-created with experts and leaders have been published in international media like Forbes, Fast Company, TechCrunch, Entrepreneur, Inc, Tech.eu, The Next Web, CFO.com and others. Not only are a few of these domains in the top 1000 most visited web properties in the world, they are also reputable sources that can give your SEO a nice kick.
If you’re reading this, however, we will assume that you don’t need to be convinced of the benefits of thought leadership, content marketing or inbound marketing.
You are interested in starting a program yourself, but you just don’t know how to do it. That’s what this presentation is for: to show you exactly how you can set up a robust collaboration between a writer, a thought leader (CEO or expert) and the corporate communication department.

Why Branding is Dead, and Why Mindset Is Your Only Hope In the Future [webinar]eCornell
visit eCornell's blog: http://bit.ly/1wY7iqj
There was more content created online in the last two years than was created in all of the prior 2000 years. Every conversation, tweet, and piece of content is a part of your brand image, and impacts a prospect’s experience with your brand.
The future success of your brand relies on you being able to provide and manage a positive experience across over 60+ marketing channels, 24 hours a day. Simple branding no longer works; the only sustainable way to consistently provide a positive experience to your prospects is by understanding Mindset.
Salesforce.com’s Mathew Sweezey explains why the modern digital landscape has killed the traditional concept of branding, and why Mindset is your only hope for building a consistent brand in the future.
Mathew Sweezey is the Head of B2B Marketing Thought Leadership for Salesforce.com. A consummate writer, he authors a column for Clickz.com on marketing automation, has been featured in publications such as Marketing Automation Times, DemandGen Report, Marketing Sherpa, ZDNet, and is the author of Marketing Automation for Dummies. Mathew speaks more than 50 times per year around the world at events such as Conversion Conference, Dreamforce, SugarCon, and to companies including Microsoft, Investec, NetJets, and Restaurants.com, to name a few.

How Salesforce Mobilized Thousands of Global Employee AdvocatesDynamic Signal
Founded in 1999, Salesforce pioneered the revolutionary idea of replacing traditional desktop CRM software with CRM in the cloud, making it accessible anytime from anywhere. Today, Salesforce’s innovative cloud platform is the world’s #1 CRM solution.
With thousands of employees around the globe, Salesforce needed to find ways to connect with and empower their workforce to broadcast important company news. Salesforce employees were already active on social media; they just needed the right content, and a safe and easy way to share it.
With what started as an event promotion strategy for Dreamforce - Salesforce’s annual conference - has now expanded to a company wide ambassador program with more than 7,000 members, accounting for nearly 700M impressions and over 750K shares. International offices are also creating unique, localized content that is relevant to their regions, further connecting micro-communities of Salesforce’s workforce.
Tiffany Hsu, Manager of Social Media Marketing at Salesforce discusses topics such as:
• What you need to know to launch and scale an employee advocacy program
• What content resonates most with employees
• How to ensure relevancy for global teams
• How to expand your employee advocacy program across multiple marketing channels

Before De Space, Dev was a part of the corporate world for 13 years, and Akshata for a period of 6 years. While both enjoyed their corporate careers, it was the zeal for doing something on their own that made them begin their entrepreneurial journey. Dev specialized in sales, marketing and operations, while Akshata’s core competence was designing. Together, they were confident that this was a perfect combination for running a business smoothly and profitably.
SEO is focussing too much on buying Google ads and smart tagging of online content. Those elements are of course important. However, we are missing the elephant in the room: natural converrsation between consumers. In this presentation, I give an overview on how you can boost internal and external conversations to have better search results.

We aim to create high-quality content. We really do. But, more-often-than-not, we fail. We understand that high-quality content must be clear, concise, and consistent in voice, tone, and terminology. We also know that it’s supposed to be easily findable, accessible, retrievable, and relevant those who need it—delivered when, where, and how they prefer it.
Crafting content that follows the rules (grammar, punctuation, linguistics) isn’t good enough. Our content also has to be helpful.
In this fast-paced talk, Scott Abel describes what it means to be helpful. You’ll discover how understanding the power of explanation

Reimagining and reinventing customer support is expensive and hard. We hear that all the time. But it doesn’t have to be. In fact, if you do it “right” it can be fairly cheap and fun. In this session, we will look at using a Design Thinking approach to imagine new realities, create prototypes quickly and cheaply, and iterate on this to create a roadmap to your transformation.
Perhaps most important is that we will discuss some of the freely available tools that will help and guide you through the Design Thinking landscape. Unlike most speeches, we will give you specific, tangible baby steps to take once you get back to your own work lives.
Three Takeaways
1) Understand the power of Design Thinking
2) Imagine what Design Thinking can do for you
3) Know what tools are available and where to find them

Part 1: Assessing the Current State: Needs Analysis and Information Gathering
Learn how to assess the current state of your technical support content by looking through the lens of content strategy and content engineering.
Traditionally, technical details about products and services were considered to be post-purchase content. Technical information — the stuff contained in owner’s manuals, user guides, and other instructional materials — was provided to consumers only after they purchased a product or service. However, that’s changing as companies recognize that prospects often search the web for technical content to make purchasing decisions.
Think of a technical resource center as an online, one-stop shop for information about your products and services. Over time, and done well, a technical resource center can help you grow your business by attracting prospects, while simultaneously working to support and build loyalty and trust with existing customers.

Moderated by Paul Perrotta with Panelists: Michael Rosinski of Astoria Software, Julie Newcome of Ultimate Software, Joe Gelb of Zoomin Software, Ray Gallon of The Transformation Society, Alex Masycheff of Intuillion, Ltd., and Anna N. Schlegel of Net App.
Budgets are tight. Times are lean. But you know you need to improve your Technical Resource Center. You could just hope it happens. Or, you could learn from the lessons of those who have gone before you. In this fast-paced panel discussion, Paul Perrotta will ask a panel of seasoned professionals for advice on how to pitch your ideas and secure funding. The panelists discuss the pitfalls to avoid, and they’ll share approaches, pro-tips, and advice to help you get what you need.
Ryan MacCarrigan’s keynote covers the growing role of Agile Development and Lean in the context of content development and delivery—where complex content is the “product” and the end goal is to shorten cycle times, eliminate waste, or improve measured business outcomes without sacrificing quality or accuracy.
The audience will learn:
How to structure strategic content development in a similar fashion to the Agile product development lifecycle
How the “Build-Measure-Learn” framework of Lean Startup fame can be applied to rapid content testing and delivery
How developing a Lean mindset can help content-driven organizations break down silos and “Fail Fast,” improving overall institutional knowledge.

My colleague and I managed a team of 5 to 7 writers, using Agile processes to successfully overhaul a Help system for complex genetic sequencing software in just over six months. The approach uses 3 weekly sprints that gets each writer 1) analyzing and identifying gaps in existing content 2) writing and updating content, and then 3) peer editing and revising content. The sprints overlap so that every week each writer is actively writing, peer reviewing and editing content.
Facing deadlines for frequent quarterly releases, we used Excel spreadsheets and OneNote notebooks to record meeting notes, topic TOCs and assignments, rather than a more administrative intensive ticket-based system (such as JIRA). Writers, whose skill levels ranged from junior to senior, learned how to use the software through hour-long question-and-answer group sessions with SMEs.
Attend this session to learn how an agile writing process can help boost collaboration and increase comradeship amongst information developers; decrease the time spent with subject matter experts, and optimize content development.

Designing the content experience revolves around the quality and the quantity of content. Answering questions like what kind of content, how much of it, and where should it be located are prime in a content professional’s mind. In her talk, Eeshita will discuss and share the pillars of content user experience — both quality and quantity. The attendees will learn techniques and processes to enable quality and monitor quantity of valuable content.

Studies have shown that the visual design of information has an immediate and lasting visceral impact on both credibility and usability. Good page design ensures that information is easy to find, read, understand, and remember. The science of human visual perception and attention provides a foundation for understanding traditional design elements and principles, and how they can be combined to ensure high-quality, effective information development.

Translation Commons is a nonprofit aiming to be an online one-stop community for all information relating to translation and localization. How do you organize content for an entire industry? How do you create a website structure that allows users to find the information they need, even when it’s a needle in a haystack?
Content planning or Information Architecture determines how information is displayed or accessed. For Translation Commons, planning took much longer than development and it was worth every second of it.
The audience will learn of various techniques and methodologies which will help them organize large sets of information.

Workshop Part 2: Creating the Future State: Enterprise Content Creation, Structure and Distribution
Learn how to plan and implement a future state of enterprise content creation, structure, management, and delivery for a modern technical resource center.
Traditionally, technical details about products and services were considered to be post-purchase content. Technical information — the stuff contained in owner’s manuals, user guides, and other instructional materials — was provided to consumers only after they purchased a product or service. However, that’s changing as companies recognize that prospects often search the web for technical content to make purchasing decisions.
Think of a technical resource center as an online, one-stop shop for information about your products and services. Over time, and done well, a technical resource center can help you grow your business by attracting prospects, while simultaneously working to support and build loyalty and trust with existing customers.

Your customers demand reliable customer service and don’t have time to waste with poor self-serve support portals that contain less helpful content than they should. Many customer service agents suffer from a lack of good warrantied product information and spend a lot of time copying and pasting information from PDFs, emails, and websites. The technology they use seems to be in constant flux yet access to the information they need doesn’t seem to get that much better. There has got to be a better way.
What if there was a better medium for finding, using, and exchanging the highest value content in your organization? Microcontent is a basic building block of good product documentation. When it can be broken out of that content, it can be used in many ways to feed other documents, FAQs, emails, knowledge bases, and even chatbots. Microcontent is also an ideal level of granularity to contribute and curate new source information to be used across the enterprise. So what is it and how does it work to provide a better customer service experience? Attend this session to gain more insight into microcontent and how it can help.

From understanding what users enter to providing logical responses, there’s a lot to create a successful experience.

If you’re considering adding chatbots or voice-activated devices to your content delivery strategy, this session is right for you.
Takeaways

Presented November 29, 2018, at Quadrus Conference Center for Information Development World 2018.
Most chatbots are rule-based. A rule defines that if certain keywords occur in the user’s question, a certain piece of content should be displayed. For example, “if the question includes words ‘replace’ and ‘battery,’ show the topic about replacing a battery.”
While this method is easy and relatively cheap to implement, it covers only simple use cases. It may work perfectly well if the amount of content is small and it’s not frequently updated. But what about a case when the procedure of replacing a battery is different for different product models? Or what if it’s different depending on the user’s role, and there are multiple possible roles and their combinations? You’d have to explicitly add rules for each variation and instruct the chatbot about the questions the user should be asked when information required for a precise and relevant answer is missing in the user’s question.
On top of that, every time you add new content, you have to manually add new rules. In the long run, rule-based chatbots are expensive and difficult to maintain, if the amount of content is significant and it’s frequently updated.
Another approach is to build a knowledge map of the subject domain which would automatically guide the chatbot about the questions the user should be asked, automatically identify semantic metadata of the content, and map the metadata to the knowledge map. This approach would make the chatbot smarter while reducing the maintenance efforts and costs.
In this session, Alex talks about both approaches and sees which approach works better in different use cases.

It can be difficult to onboard users to new and complex interfaces and workflows. New research shows that images and video enhance understanding and retention of complex information and tasks and can even increase productivity, but software often changes quickly and requires regular updates and localization.
How can we leverage the power of visual communication without having to constantly localize new visual content? Simplified User Interface (SUI) helps you create powerful and useful images to help your users better understand your content while extending its shelf life and often eliminating the need for localization.

We must continue to tell great stories. Taglines and spots are not enough.
@POSSIBLE @swigsocial #MakeChange #InfoDevWorld
8. WE ALL CALL
IT SOMETHING
DIFFERENT
Content marketing, brand
journalism, real-time content.
We all have different
definitions and different
terms that we are using.
@POSSIBLE @swigsocial #MakeChange #InfoDevWorld

10. Talking about the same terms,
the same definitions and understanding
strategies is paramount to success.
@POSSIBLE @swigsocial #MakeChange #InfoDevWorld
11. WE NEED TO
CONTINUE TO
HELP BRANDS
TELL STORIES
We must build multiple content
streams that ladder up to the
strategy and publish on a
regular cadence to drive
consistent engagement.
@POSSIBLE @swigsocial #MakeChange #InfoDevWorld
12.
13. Storytelling is hard. It can’t be a
one-way conversation. It needs to
be planned with a clear POV on
how it fits into the all-up strategy.

14. WE MUST BE
PREPARED TO

17. WE NEED TO
THINK LIKE

what topics and conversations
brands should be publishing.

20. WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES?
Hiring, process change and client demands have all been factors.

Agencies aren’t just competing
against each other anymore,
they are also competing against
their clients and other brands.

Hiring needs to not only
support the current work but
be able to quickly adapt to
new offerings and strategies.

resources with various skills and experiences.

No one likes to change or
optimize the process if they
don’t have to. Talking to staff
