This is a great time to be a web designer: so many of our public institutions are redesigning whether it be for mobile responsiveness or accessibility compliance. What is emerging, however, is that the move to a mobile, accessible website is only the tip of a very big iceberg: we are finding that there are lots of content skeletons in the closets in our hospitals, public media organizations, educational institutions, and municipalities. The skeletons are things like governance models that have gone astray, siloed publishing models, little or no authoring structures, and meta data completely out of control. The information age came upon us so quickly that staff are still lacking in training to be able to easily and effectively manage knowledge. The answer: content strategy! We'll walk you through the steps necessary to audit, analyse, and then prepare your content (and your employees) for a redesign, and help you deal with those skeletons.
KPM we provide tailor made practical in-house, open house training programs and boardroom solutions with latest industrial & technological trend in today’s competitive business landscape.
