Content Models: More Than Just A Model For Content
Content models (aka information models) are the cornerstone of a solid content strategy. But too often they are a high-level design which ends up gathering dust as writers focus on meeting deadlines. They are so much more.
A content model helps teams focus on creating valuable content. Rather than writers just describing what’s in front of them, a good content model helps writers make informed decisions about what content to create, and helps document managers control the process.
No matter what you are trying to achieve as a content professional, for example, making a business case for a new strategy, rolling out a new initiative, or coordinating multiple contributors, a solid content model will help you and your teams achieve those goals.
In this session attendees will learn:
The key aspects of a content model, and how to make the best use of them. I will share real-life examples to illustrate how to use content models to help document different products, and manage different stages of the content lifecycle.
