Classroom
Learn the methodology to put content strategy to work across your organisation. This is a three-day course for writers, project managers, information architects and others who want to organise content production and delivery around clear objectives and processes. Each day has a different focus so you can sign up for a single day, depending on your needs.
What you’ll learn
You’ll learn how to build and communicate an enterprise content strategy – that is, the business goal you want to achieve with content and how you plan to achieve it. You will then learn how to apply this strategy for organising content teams and modelling your content.
How you learn
This course includes live classroom training at your location. The training is interactive, allowing you to draw from your own experiences and current situation to apply the material so you can leave with concrete outcomes to use at work.
You’ll also receive course materials that you can reference during the training. These learning materials are yours to keep and refer to after you’ve completed the enterprise content strategy course.
