Hear tips and techniques you and your team members can use to quickly create content for communication activities that are easy for audiences to understand and that generate the response you want.

During the time together Jo Ann Sweeney  (LinkedIn profile @commsabilities) shares the structure professional journalists use to structure content; it is a simple structure that ensures content creators stay focused both on their audiences and on business objectives, that key messages come through clearly.

Firstly we practice using a précis to structure the written words for emails, articles, speeches, presentations and websites.

Then Jo Ann uses storyboarding to create an outline and script for a video or podcast and an information pack that gives key stakeholders detailed background about your programme that they can keep for reference.

Next Jo Ann looks at golden rules for creating content that is well written and structured so your audiences understand what you mean the first time they read or listen to your words.

Finally we cover how to speed up the content clearance process so people know what is expected of them and give you their comments and changes quickly.

Jo Ann will be sharing the templates she uses for:

• Storyboarding videos and audio podcasts
• Structuring news stories and feature articles
• Creating an information pack
• Persuading executives to quickly clear content.

This webinar is for:

• Executives who want their teams to be proficient in content creation best practices
• Transformation leaders who want collateral their stakeholders trust and read, watch and listen to
• Change management practitioners who to produce clear, engaging content for their audiences.

Most testing teams are automating testing today, yet average enterprise test automation rates hover around 20%.

Beyond the test automation skills gap, many organizations struggle with common roadblocks, including managing test automation across different tools and frameworks, lost efficiency due to duplicated efforts, and a lack of visibility that makes it difficult to decide where to focus automation efforts.

In this webinar, Tim Warr (LinkedIn profile) Product Manager, Tricentis & Kathryn Hsu Product Marketing Manager, Tricentis  & Simona Domazetoska (LinkedIn profile) Product Marketing Manager, Tricentis;  share a two-pronged approach for overcoming these roadblocks so you can build a long-term, sustainable strategy for scaling test automation and will demonstrate how you can achieve it.

Learn about the best practices of:

1. Sharing test assets across projects and teams
2. Centralizing test automation management across tools and frameworks
3. Improving visibility across all testing efforts so you can make strategic decisions about what to automate
4. Reducing the maintenance burden with a codeless, resilient approach to regression testing

Programs that matter use simulations.  Airline flight simulators, Harvard Business School case studies, boot camps, and moot courts all focus on teaching “learning to do.” But they are expensive and unscalable.

Most other educational programs have settled on lectures and workbooks.  These “learning to know” approaches are cost effective, timely, predictable, and scalable.  But over time, education’s heavy reliance on “learning to know” programs has been devastating.  It has put education out of step with sponsors and learners who want their programs to have a real world impact.

We want to learn how to be leaders, not learn about leaders.  

Our reliance on “learning to know” has led to an entire new cottage industry of complicated metrics to “prove” (never convincingly) that the workbooks and lectures are really having a real world impact.  (Spoiler alert:  they aren’t.)

Industry pioneer Clark Aldrich (LinkedIn profile) Managing Partner, Clark Aldrich Designs, will highlight the signs of risks of our current practices, but also present paths forward.

One path forward is ‘Short Sims’ a revolutionary new approach to educational media, designed by Aldrich, that allows anyone to create “learning to do” content—on any topic—in a timely way and that can be used all over the world.

Attendees of this session will learn:

• How to identify the risks of traditional workbooks and lectures in your culture
• Why your educational programs aren’t having much real world impact
• What “learning to do” methodologies are available, and for what kinds of situations
• When and how to use Short Sims, a revolutionary technology independent and non-proprietary pedagogy around “learning to do”
