3. 5 TONY Awards for MASIE Productions.
1. Content Management Confusion!: So much content in the workplace and so much confusion about content systems and optimization. The quantity of content that is being created, curated, harvested and shared is growing at an endless rate in our workplaces. This includes:
* Internally Developed Learning Content.
* Externally Licensed Content and Courses.
* User Created Content.
* Socially Created Internal Content.
* Internal Non-Learning Content Leveraged for Learning.
* Open Source External Content (eg. TED or YouTube).
Organizations are wanting to increase the access, reuse, tracking, targeting, review and optimization of all of these flavors of content. For some workplaces, content is sprinkled between one or more Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS), Learning Management Systems (LMS), Corporate Communications Systems, Social Systems, Curation Systems and more.
Some of the confusion comes from the split governance of content management and from the shifting nature of employee learning styles and approaches. For example, as use of short, user created video rises, where does that content live (LCMS, Video Management) and how does that include external Open Source content.
It is critical that organizations develop a Content Conversation, ideally leading to an agile content strategy, framing the selection, use and integration of the growing set of content management systems. And, make sure there is a User Experience Design component, to align content navigation to how your busy employees actually access and use needed content.
2. PG&E Learning Leader - Energy Skill Development: We are honored to announce Chris Pickett, the Senior Director of Training for Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) as one of our featured speakers at Learning 2017 (Oct 22 to 25).
