Detailed guest talk description

Digital visionary David Armano predicted that 2013 will see a shift to a content economy, with organizations waking up to the realization that content is a business asset that captures attention. But how does one leverage content in an environment where the deliverables are constantly changing?

A content economy demands a "content first" approach, and this is particularly true for the large bodies of content managed by technical communicators. Rahel’s guest talk will look at some of the principles behind a content strategy that supports delivery and mitigates risk with a "content first" approach, and makes organizations more agile when responding to new demands on our content resources.
