Content Improvements Start with a Content Inventory

The building is only as tall as the foundation is strong. A content inventory is key to building a solid foundation in your quest to improve your content operations. A well-constructed content inventory can point out content reuse possibilities, redundant content, outdated content, gaps in content, and so much more. Just like you shouldn’t build a home without first building the foundation, you shouldn’t begin a content improvement engagement without first completing a content inventory.

In this session attendees will learn:

• What a content inventory is and the different approaches you can take when building one
• Why a content inventory is essential to content operations
• How to build a content inventory, including a few tips and tricks to simplify the process
• How to use a content inventory to lay the foundation to content improvement initiatives
