Don’t be a Tool: Content Management Strategy July 24th, 2011 John Eckman jeckman@isitedesign.com @jeckman http://www.openparenthesis.org/
Hemingway’s Typewriter “I’ve said this a lot lately, so I wanted to blog it: No one ever asked Hemingway which pencils he used to write his books. The tools aren’t the thing. The effort and the content and the promotion and the connection and the networking and the building value are the thing.” - Chris Brogan http://www.chrisbrogan.com/hemingways-pencils/
Hemingway’s Typewriter This typewriter was the source of some of the greatest pieces in American literary history. The typewriter, a Halda, was made in Sweden and is in excellent condition with the ribbon and keys intact. It is fully functional, in its original leather case with somewhat tattered transportation stickers from both the American Export Line and the French Line. Both have crucial identification in another hand signed " Hemingway ", . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NVi0C4pHRM

The old CMS: Content Management System http://www.isitedesign.com/insight-blog/10_11/cms-pain-assessment
The New CMS Content Management System Strategy http://www.flickr.com/photos/vissago/476068574/in/photostream/
What is Content Management Strategy?
Business Strategy Mission Statement / Value Proposition Audiences / Markets User and business goals for each audience Acquisition strategy “What are we trying  to make happen?”  http://www.flickr.com/photos/mightyohm/2729474646/in/photostream/
Business Strategy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomes_(South_Park)
Technology Strategy Open Source / Proprietary / Custom In house / outsourced / mixed Skillset, Budget, Cost “Which tools will  best serve our  business strategy  over the long run?” http://just-thinkin.net/2010/07/i-need-a-flying-car/
“Free as in Puppies” Free / Open Source Software is: Free as in Beer Free as in Speech (or Free as in Freedom) Free as in Puppies All of the above The “free as in puppies” meme captures accurately that open source software still requires “care and feeding” – but so do proprietary platforms! http://www.flickr.com/photos/96447062@N00/3802609079
Content Strategy What is our brand promise, message hierarchy? What is our voice? How will we create and/or curate content in a way that serves both our audience’s needs and our goals? “How will   content help  us deliver on our  mission?” http://icanhascheezburger.com/2011/06/28/funny-pictures-you-realize-its-just-the-same/
Content Strategy http://www.ted.com/
Engagement Strategy How will we engage with our audiences? What platforms will we invest time and money in? Where will we hold back? “How do we acquire and maintain the interest of the audiences we want to engage with us?” http://www.flickr.com/photos/findyoursearch/4838567687/in/photostream/
Engage! http://iruntheinternet.com/0809
Optimization Strategy How do we plan to continuously improve our digital platform? What measurements / KPIs can we baseline and test against to ensure we’re making real progress?  http://www.flickr.com/photos/allspaw/2095439645/in/photostream/
Optimization http://52weeksofux.com/post/694598769/the-local-maximum
What Generally Drives Platform Selection Agency preference Technology team experience Random: My cousin said WordPress is only good for blogs My last company used Sharepoint and we liked it This one is used by _____ and we like their site I’ve always wanted to do a project in ___.
What Drives “Enterprise” Platform Selection Long, complex RFP process Feature Matrices TCO/ ROI calculations Multiple vendors Selection committees representing all stakeholders “Blind” submission of Q&A shared with all participants Look, Squirrel! http://www.flickr.com/photos/sompops/166288241/in/photostream/
What should drive platform selection? Business strategy Technology strategy Content strategy Engagement strategy Optimization strategy Content  Management Strategy! http://www.flickr.com/photos/senoranderson/5135232752/
Planning for the Long Haul Governance model Content creation & curation Social media policies Support model Authors, editors New page templates New content types Measurement Goals & Metrics Ongoing http://www.flickr.com/photos/buro9/298998542/in/photostream/
Bad strategy trumps good execution, just aspoor execution can trump good strategy
Don’t be a tool! http://www.ehow.com/how_6019260_use-boring-tool.html
