Modular content increases team velocity
Control the system not the usage
Flexibility becomes the guiding principle that solves the problems for all groups.
The Content blocks big idea is to adapt to the space that is given.

But what about other devices? Cover the eco system problem - a ever expanding system of devices and consumption processes
at this conference you see people with glass, pebbles, smart watches and phones of every size.
there will be more devices. and for this you again need flexibility.

By creating a system that helps display the content you increases the velocity of all parties as they can focus on solving for the device of channel as opposed to setting up a system.
this sets the brand up for a future where they can provide designs for the next device, whatever it may be.

You heard Kelly and Julie talk about the cross functional teams this morning
here is where it comes together. If you focus on creating a system inside of which the content lives you are empowering your coworkers to invent new ways of using the content.
it will also Increases the velocity of the team as they are mor connected to the product. You unlocks creativity of the team and it sets the brand up for a future next device
