So you're going to Confab Higher Ed. You're already pretty excited about content strategy. But your boss and colleagues? Not so much. To outsiders, content strategy is just another buzzword. And as more schools move to become "data-driven" organizations, talking about content can sound hopelessly qualitative.
So don't say "content strategy": do it. This session will look at content strategy practices you can introduce to show even your most quantitatively-oriented colleagues the value of content strategy: content analytics, social media analytics, and user testing techniques. Rack up successes first—then start talking content strategy.
• Introduce content strategy practices into your organization when your organization doesn't care about content strategy.
• Use analytics to identify what needs improvement.
• Learn how user-testing techniques can improve your content.

“If they would just listen to us...”: Turning Internal Client Relationships i...Michael Powers
You’re smart. (You do work in higher ed, after all.) You know your stuff. You have ideas. New ideas. Good ideas. And yet—your clients (internal or external) don’t want your ideas. Or your style guide. They know what they want: the same thing they’ve been doing for the last ten years. Why won’t they just listen to you?
The answer is finding ways to turn to client relationships into real collaborations. When we move from a conformance mindset to a collaboration mindset, we can find ourselves in the position to do our best work—work our clients will love.
What you’ll learn:
• How to move from a conformance to a collaboration mindset.
• Using workshop techniques (like job stories, pair writing, mad libs, and more) in meeting settings.
• How to uncover the real problems your clients are facing, and solve them—together.

How Just a Little Data Analysis Can Improve your ContentJoe Pairman
Slides from a webinar given on February 5th, 2013, organized by Comtech Services (http://comtech-serv.com/ ). Abstract as follows:
In the past, it was often difficult for information development teams to obtain quantitative data on how their content was used. In recent years, with the spread of online content delivery, it has become easier to obtain such data. Now, the challenge is how to interpret it in order to make content more effective.
In this webinar, Joe Pairman from HTC's User Education team will show how content usage data, ratings by users, and search query records can:
• Indicate appropriate vocabulary
• Contribute to taxonomy development
• Suggest areas of focus for content improvements
• Help to answer specific questions about designing effective content

The Iceberg Approach - Power from what lies beneath in SEO for a mobile-first...Dawn Anderson MSc DigM
In a mobile-first world, with time-poor users, research crazy and mainly browsing with one eye and one hand, we need to consider a few new approaches to SEO. Information overload is all around. We need to think about how we can maintain relevance with less in some cases. We need to consider the Iceberg Theory and simultaneously consider the Iceberg Syndrome as well as placement position in user view for content and links

This is an example case study showing what big data can mean for a small website that generates just 5000 visits a day.
It all depends on what we want do get from our assets like website traffic. If we only measure the number of people who visited our site, then we do not need to worry about “big data”. We just have to count total visits (5000 a day, 150 000 monthly).
But by using just the simple measure we know nothing about our visitors / customers. So, it pretty useless.
On the following slides we present what a website owner can gain from advanced website analytics and why big data technologies are recommended.

How We Redefined The Dictionary: Merriam-Webster’s Case Study In Digital Tran...Hilary Ip
Over the past few years, Merriam-Webster has evolved from a dusty book on the shelf into a timely, relevant resource users turn to every day. They’re building new products, reaching new audiences, and picking up plenty of awards along the way. Hear how they did it, led by the first female head in the company’s nearly 200-year history.
Everyone’s got a story, and your organization may have thousands. But too often, we scramble to find good content to fill our social, web, and media channels. In that scramble, we may end up publishing content that doesn’t engage our audiences—or help our organization’s brand—the way we need it to.
In support of a rebranding effort, we set out to solve this challenge. By creating a "story pipeline," we've captured more story leads and better shaped our story output to represent our organization. The lessons we've learned will help anyone seeking to expand storytelling for their own organization.
What you’ll learn:
• What stories are and aren’t and ways to get your team to come together around a definition that works for them.
• Assessing your current story output to make the case for change.
• Introducing your creatives to the ideas of workflow and content ops.
• Creating formulas that make storytelling easier.
• Bringing story content into non-story formats.
Number Stories: Win Friends and Influence HiPPOs with an Effective Measuremen...Michael Powers
Data overload has come to content strategy. With so many things to measure and tools to measure it with, how do you find a way to use analytics without succumbing to analysis paralysis? And without spending all your time on analytics? This session will walk through the creation of a measurement strategy that supports your existing content strategy. Then we’ll look at the ways you can use those analytics to tell the kinds of stories that persuade your peers and superiors to make smarter content decisions.
In this session, you will:
Learn how to decide what to measure and why
Find out how to create an analytics routine that provides actionable insights without taking up all your time
Learn to present measurements and analytics in ways that influence and persuade others
Social media presents a great opportunity for promoting the arts, but understanding how the tools work and using them effectively can be complicated. This session will explain why social media can be important for your organization, Facebook and Twitter basics, and common strategies for putting them to work.
