A spotlight session from the STC Summit 2014 (#STC14). It sought, in a short 20 minute slot, to introduce the challenges facing technical communicators and a framework (rooted on the work of Hippocrates) for thinking about both leadership and content. A Star Trek theme is mixed in for good measure. Thanks to @maxwellhoffmann for the photo of me presenting this talk (included on the last slide)
Brief History of Content (J Gollner 2014)Joe Gollner
This presentation was first created for an opening keynote at Documation 1999 and it has evolved to reflect ongoing evolution ever since. The Brief History of Content explores how we came to look at content as a discrete entity and as something we needed to think about, manage, and perfect separately from how we conduct our routine information exchanges. Information carries content and when we are put upon to deliver content in many ways simultaneously we have no choice but to treat content separately and in a way that is more open, adaptable, portable and processable than what any single information transaction, in being concretely rooted in a specific transactional context, will ever need to be. The Brief History of Content chronicles the emergence of content technologies that now make it possible to manage and evolve content as strategic enterprise assets.

A bit of a retrospective. Back in the spring of 2005, I delivered this presentation at a Defense Software Symposium. The idea was that if we manage the knowledge behind a software system properly we can create, integrate, manage, and evolve that software far more effectively than we have in the past. This discussion proceeded with reference to very large and very complex software engineering and integration projects.
This session explores the ways in which Content 4.0 can be a useful way to understand the direction that content is going. It proceeds by looking at what content must be like in order to keep up with Industry 4.0. This session was undertaken at the invitation of Tom Aldous of The Content Era.
The Changing Face of Publishing (October 2012)Joe Gollner
A presentation made to the Canadian Heritage Ministry on the changing impacting publishing at this time. Complete with a somewhat jaundice view on how well most publishers are adapting. It comes from 2012 which feels like a long time ago but the presentation doesn't really call for much updating.
This talk was delivered at DITA Europe in Munich Germany. It explores the business and management considerations that apply to the deployment of DITA-enabled solutions that break out beyond the traditional technical documentation focus. Appropriately, the guiding theme for the presentation is drawn from Don Quixote.

It also showcases how common forces drove the emergence of practices that we now see in the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA).
The Making of 'The Language of Content Strategy' - by Scott Abel, The Content...Scott Abel
Time is in short supply. Deadlines are tight. Resources are even tighter. If you're like most content professionals, you have dozens of great ideas but not enough time, money or experience to bring them to life. But it doesn't have to be this way.
In this content marketing meets intelligent content engineering case study, we will explain how the newly published book, The Language of Content Strategy (XML Press) was created with the help of the crowd, structured XML content, a wiki and a formal content strategy. Attend this session to learn how the two seasoned content strategists enlisted the help of 50 knowledgeable experts to create a printed book, an e-book, a companion website and educational flash cards in record time, all from a single source of content. You'll discover why it's imperative that content professionals —regardless of their area of specialty — understand and leverage the power of advanced information development practices. You'll leave knowing why a repeatable content production system, optimized for productivity and designed to efficiently produce multiple content products simultaneously, is no longer an option, but rather a necessity.

Innovation through Experience Design: Designers as InnovatorsJason Ulaszek
The pressure to create amazing, groundbreaking product and service experiences has intensified within just about every industry. Entire industries are now competing heavily on larger, connected ecosystems, not just individualized experiences. Competing organizations are increasingly enlisting designers to help bring clarity to decisions supporting the what, where, how and when of it all. In turn, the pressure point becomes the designer.
Designers possess the ability to influence the creation and design of new products and services. Sometimes they’re even given opportunity to influence business model transformation. But, what about innovation? Do designers possess the ability to disrupt the status quo and become the innovator? And, are they ready for it? I think so. And, after this session I think you’ll see why too.
Together, we’ll examine the role of an experience designer as an innovator and the skills designers command that can engineer new business opportunity and effect social change. We’ll share examples, models and skills that you’ll need in order to lead the charge.
Originally presented by Jason Ulaszek and Brian Winters at Webvisions Chicago on September 24, 2015.
This is the presentation I used to start the 2011 activities of the CIET commission
(Innovation & New Tech) at the Engineers Association of Rome.
I explored the roots of innovation explaining its purpose in any organization.
The definition of business model is essential to pursue innovation and to do that it is important to understand what exactly is and which is the underlying philosophy.
The real aim of design in any successful product or service is highlighted and explained as well.
We continually hear about innovation and strive to keep engaging our teams to put the right skills and processes for innovation into practice. At the same time, we know that fostering just the right culture for the team to be innovative is important – but often overlooked.
How do you go about fostering an innovative team? Here are 4 guidelines we’ve pulled together.
Are You Ready to Disrupt It?’ is a unique knowledge safari into the wilderness of a new type of innovation which has emerged in the business world as well as in the research arena: Disruptive Innovation.
The book is the culmination of a project by The EU Disrupt-IT project consortium, reflecting the collaboration of experts from 6 countries. The consortium was formed in 2002 to develop a methodology and supporting software for enabling and catalysing the creation of new products, services and business models which have the potential to disrupt their markets.
The book conceptually clarifies some of the phenomena related to the realities of disruptive innovation, like:
“Low-end” market vs. New market disruptive innovation
Technological vs. Business Model disruptive innovation
The challenge of “Crossing the Chasm”
The book offers a comprehensive toolkit to foster disruptive innovation: this includes a “Knowledge Safari”, “Idea Pipeline software”, a “Disruptive Portfolio Management Tool”, an “Opportunity Recognition Workshop”, the “DI Compass” and an “Innovation Ecology Portal”.
Detailed descriptions of real case studies complemented by a utopian urban story enrich the concepts and make the complex and intangible ideas come alive.
The lively graphics and illustrations that enrich the insights in the text reflect the consortium’s philosophy that visualisation is an effective method of conveying, and absorbing, new ideas.
The Disrupt-IT project was co-funded by the European Commission Information Society Technology (IST) programme, which is a fertile ground for leading edge Knowledge Management research.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks
