Content operations

How to design and implement a slick, efficient and effective approach to your content operations.

Successful and impactful content depends on so much more that great writing, inspiring images and creative videos or audio. In fact, we would assert that the biggest game-changer in creating great content is as much about what you don't see as it is about what you do see.

From people and training, to processes and workflow, to systems and governance... the complex ecosystem and flow of how we actually go from a concept to a managed piece of content is key to our success. We call this behind the scenes work "content operations".
This programme is all about how to design and implement a slick, efficient and effective approach to your content operations.


You will learn:

  • What content operations is and what it includes
  • What good looks like
  • How to design and implement your approach
  • How to use our content maturity framework to determine your priorities
  • How to get others on board with your governance and workflow policies, and keep them enrolled and compliant.
