During Explore, we assess the effectiveness of your content. We do this by exploring the three areas that create an established content experience:
Content Delivery—what are the end-to-end mechanisms that create, maintain and publish your content and how effective are these processes? Are there areas with inefficacies, gaps or disconnects that cause content creation and production issues? Do you have issues around localization or content reuse? A compromised content delivery approach will impact the content experience for your users.
Content Experience—how is your final content performing? Do you have great content? Can your consumers engage with it and does it fill your business objectives and needs while meeting those who use and consume the content? Is all of the content you produce worthy of your brand’s promise and mission?
Content Governance—How much control do you have over your content? Do you have processes and tools in place to ensure your content is on brand, able to evolve and consistently offers your users what they need? We help you uncover what you need in your current governance structures—tools, standards and governance models—to stand all content within your organization up for success.
