The Impact of Storytelling On Customer Experience

Let's Talk Content Operations with Rahel Anne Bailie & Gerry McGovern

Join us for Coffee and Content with Kathleen Pierce, a principal analyst with Forrester, a leading research and advisory firm that helps companies navigate digital transformation. With over 20 years of experience in the tech industry, Kathleen is a recognized expert in the field of customer experience (CX) and has worked with numerous companies to help them improve their CX strategies. 

We'll chat with Pierce about the trends she's identified while examining the future of localization — the process of adapting a product or service to meet the language, cultural, and other specific requirements of a particular region or market. 

As the founding principal of User Interface Engineering (UIE), a user experience design school solely aiming to make user experience (UX) designers everyone wants to hire, Spool knows what sells. He's been winning over stakeholders and upper management for years by focusing on selling the vision of a better future.

The future of localization is likely to be shaped by several key trends and developments. We'll discuss the major trends, including the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to automate many aspects of the localization process. And we'll chat about the growing importance of delivering localized content that personalized for individual consumers and the impact of ongoing geopolitical and economic changes.

Providing Content at the Moment of Engagement

Heretto Coffee and Content

Content transformation, conversion, and migration are often confused because they are related processes that involve changing digital content in some way. Additionally, the terminology used to describe these processes can vary depending on the context and industry, further contributing to the confusion.

Confusion surrounding the meaning of these terms is also caused by their interconnectedness — they may be performed together or in sequence. Moreover, the boundaries between these processes can be blurred, as they may involve similar techniques, tools, and technologies. For instance, automated tools that are used for content transformation can also be used for content conversion or migration.

Join us for a presentation from Mark Gross, president of Data Conversion Laboratory, about the differences between the processes of content transformation, conversion, and migration. While each of these related processes are involved in managing digital content, each serves a distinct purpose and involves different techniques and tools.

You'll leave with a solid understanding of the differences in these three terms and be prepared to put this knowledge to work.

How Walking Kickstarts Your Business Success

Heretto Case Study

There are a lot of mediocre content solutions. But good enough is seldom sufficient. Getting content right involves NOT skipping steps and looking for ways to save money by ignoring best practices and lessons learned by others before you. Creating exceptional content experiences involves doing it right — but you’ll need management support.

Join us for a chat with Meghan Casey, the author of The Content Strategy Toolkit: Methods, Guidelines, and Templates for Getting Content Right, and the owner of Do Better Content Consulting about ways to convince management to invest in content production improvements.

Convincing Leadership To Do Content Right

The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is a flexible — yet powerful – XML-based information architecture to structure and manage any information, not just technical documentation. Some examples of non-technical documentation deliverables that companies produce using DITA include marketing collateral, reports, business documents, training material, and legal and regulatory compliance documents.

Join us for a one-hour presentation from Max Swisher, Director of Technology at global content consultancy Content Rules. You'll learn how Swisher's team is leveraging DITA XML and the Heretto component content management system (CCMS) to produce business content, including client reports. You'll discover why Content Rules uses Heretto to assemble and deliver business documents, what benefits the company enjoys, and what ideas they have for using Heretto to produce additional content types in the future.

Producing More Than Technical Documentation With DITA XML

Used wisely, digital could be saving our planet, making things more productive and efficient, and more environmentally friendly, while improving living standards. Right now, however, digital is killing our planet. It is helping make the rich the super-rich, the middle class the working class, and the working class the working poor. 

Join us for Coffee and Content with information architecture expert, Gerry McGovern. We'll discuss topics including the technology productivity paradox, the impact of web waste, cloud waste, and email (SPAM or otherwise), and, why he believes digital has delivered too much useless waste. McGovern will share his thoughts on common myths like 'knowledge workers are natural communicators and collaborators', and he'll provide us with suggestions for change — what we can do right now — and into the future.

A large body of research exists that shows companies can save money on translations by first "translating" information into plain language.
