Making Evidence-Informed Learning Design Decisions

Leaning into the tensions between humans and machine behavior. 

Today’s content operations demand automation-machines can process huge volumes of information instantly but they need predictable content to do that. As humans, our natural inclination is to (graphically) design “pages” and then fill them with content before we determine the structure of that content. 

So the question becomes: how do we move from a graphic design mindset to a building design mindset, where structure is an integral aspect of doing a design?

Join Rahel Anne Bailie, The ContentOps Wrangler, and Sarah O’Keefe, Founder & CEO at Scriptorium, as they discuss techniques that content developers can use to integrate structure into the design process. Attendees will learn how to evaluate content maturity in their development process, some techniques to capture structure during the design phase, and how to uncover hidden connections across your body of content.

"Let's Talk Content Ops" is brought to you by The Content Wrangler and Heretto, the #ContentOps platform for product, reference, and knowledge content.

Let's Talk Content Operations: Design First or Structure First?

Join us for Coffee and Content with Hillary Marsh, an experienced content strategist, to learn how content is crucial in delivering remarkable customer support experiences. Consumers demand fast and easy answers, and high-quality, relevant, and accessible content is key. 

Marsh will discuss why "Better CX requires better content" and the characteristics and benefits of a "content-first" approach that prioritizes content over form. She'll also emphasize the importance of "core content" that meets audience needs and is easily accessible. 

Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your customer support strategy!

And he'll discuss the importance of connecting technical documentation efforts to sales and why that matters.

You'll also discover how ezyVet uses a controlled vocabulary — Simplified Technical English — and why they rely on it to help them communicate effectively.

The Long-term Value of Adopting DITA XML

Ann Rockley talks with Matthew Pollard, best-selling author of “The Introvert's Edge” series, about why introverts struggle and how they can excel instead!

One of the biggest myths that plagues the business world today is that success in business or ability to network depends on being an extrovert with the “gift-of-gab.” You don’t have to be outgoing to be successful and you don’t have to become a relentless self-promoter. In fact, you don’t have to act like an extrovert at all!

Matthew Pollard, an introvert himself, draws on over a decade of research and real-world examples to provide an actionable blueprint for introverted success in his book series The Introverted Edge.

In this talk show, Matthew Pollard shares insights for introvert success.

Why you don't need to be an extrovert to be successful
How to leverage your innate introverted strengths
How to prepare for any situation
Overcome fear and discomfort when networking

The Essential Mindset is brought you by The Content Wrangler and The Rockley Group.

The Essential Mindset: The Introvert's Edge

Join us for a chat with Steve Rawling about the role, impact, and value of storytelling as it relates to creating meaningful customer experiences. We'll chat with the former BBC TV journalist, international author, and business storytelling consultant about ways that product information developers, technical writers, and other business writing pros can leverage the power of storytelling to create exceptional experiences for prospective and existing customers. You'll leave understanding how storytelling impacts trust, comprehension, and confidence. COme prepared to ask questions about your content and how you might use storytelling to improve its utility.

Rawling has told over 20,000 stories in his career, so he can definitely help you tell yours. Steve's latest venture — a deck of cards called "Storyteller Tactics" — smashed its target when it went live on Kickstarter, raising $100k in a few weeks. It has now sold over 60,000 copies to people in companies like Apple, Facebook, and IBM. We'll give away a free copy of "Storyteller Tactics" at the end of this show.

The Impact of Storytelling On Customer Experience

Inclusive language is the practice of intentional word selection that conveys respect to all people. When we use inclusive language, we acknowledge and honor every person's diverse and intersectional identities, making them feel valued and inviting them to contribute their best.

Yet, inclusive language takes work, even for people who value diversity, and it also takes practice and humility. Recognizing less than inclusive words and replacing them with more inclusive terms also involves change — something we humans, as creatures of habit, can find difficult — it takes adjustments to how we work and the tools we use to do it.

Join us for a presentation about adopting inclusive language that examines the findings from recent research. We'll discuss what motivates organizations to adopt inclusive language; and whether the organizations that do so have methods to encourage or enforce its usage.

This web presentation is brought to you by The Content Wrangler in partnership with the Center for Information Development Management and Content Science. It is sponsored by Acrolinx, a maker of software that unlocks the potential in your enterprise content to ensure your best-performing asset is the best it can be.

2023 Inclusive Language Survey Results

Content has weight. It consumes energy and creates pollution during creation, publishing, use, and storage.

Digital is physical. The Cloud is on the ground, where all the data and content are stored on 70 million servers. Each server caused between one and two tons of CO2. 

We can all do our part to create less content of a higher quality. 

Data and content are out of control, and every year it creates more and more pollution. Let’s do something about that.

Join Rahel Anne Bailie for a chat with Gerry McGovern, a well-known and highly-respected professional in the content strategy community. A highly-regarded speaker, he has spoken on digital customer experience in more than 35 countries. He has written eight books about digital design and is the author of "World Wide Waste: How Digital Is Killing The Planet And What To Do About It" (2020 Silver Beach).

Attendees will learn about:

* Creating lighter content that has less of a pollution impact
* Ways to reduce the energy and time required to find and use our content
* Using repurposable content to create new content, thus reducing overall pollution

Content Strategies for Sustainable ContentOps

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.
