The COVID-19 coronavirus is having a huge impact on people and organisations. With so many things that could be about to change, how should technical communicators respond? What’s your plan for the future? In this presentation, we looked at: How organisations might change during and after the COVID-19 lockdown What that means for technical communication, and how you can come back stronger than ever What technical communicators can do to help, and how you can deal with this crisis How other technical communicators responded when we asked them for their views]]>

Structured writing presentation to London Content Strategy Meetup /slideshow/structured-writing-presentation-to-london-content-strategy-meetup/88697947 structuredwritng-180223074930
Content can often seem like jelly - messy and hard to manage. In this presentation, we'll look at whether you can reduce this messiness through structured writing. In this overview of the topic, we'll explore what is structured writing, what it promises to give its adopters, the different standards, and the challenges that come with using structured writing. If you've wanted to get a handle on structured content and how it could work to make your content work better, join us for this informative session. Our presenter, Ellis Pratt, is a Consulting Technical Communicator and Director at Cherryleaf, a technical writing services company. He has been working in technical communication since the early 1990s. He has a degree in Business Studies. He is also: - Member of the Institute of Scientific and Technical Communicators - Associate of the Institution of Engineering and Technology - An ISTC Management Council member In 2017, he was listed as one of the top 25 Content Experience influencers in the world. Ellis was a contributor to two books: Current Practices and Trends in Technical Communication, and The Language of Technical Communication.]]>

There have been many developments in creating documentation systems, with the assumption that the nature of the content - the tone of voice, the writing style - should remain essentially the same. We investigate whether the tried-and-tested technical communication writing styles from past decades still make sense today. We look at the reasons why some organisations, such as Facebook, Google & Mozilla, might be "breaking the rules" in the User Assistance they provide. We also look at how structured, adaptable, intelligent content becomes important for organisations that do decide to change.]]>
