[Sigia-l] Taxonomy Strategy Now

[Dan Keldsen]

Hello IA Practitioners,

As you are perhaps aware, Delphi Group has been involved in the  
Content Management space from a consulting, event, and research/ 
advisory standpoint for roughly 16 years.

As CMS/ECM has been adopted, there have been many stumbling points in  
implementation - information remains lost, even once in a central  
location, and even with a central repository, anywhere from 20-80% of  
enterprise content is still not within the repository, and remains  
unfindable.

We've been running an event called Delphi's Proving Ground for  
Information Architecture & Taxonomy for nearly 4 years now, and have  
had hundreds of attendees representing organizations across a wide  
variety of industries, from aerospace to pharmaceuticals, financial  
services to gas, power, energy, and more.

If your organization is experiencing pains with findability and in  
connecting your unstructured information systems together as a  
working WHOLE solution, this very project-focused (you MUST bring a  
project related to Information Architecture or Taxonomy), team- 
oriented (teams of 2-12 are quite common, although single attendees  
are welcome) event is specifically built to help break your project  
out of a stuck mode or get your freshly launched project positioned  
for successful implementation.

I've been one of the instructors/consultants with this program area  
for 3 years, and have been with Delphi Group for 11+ years. I may  
have been drinking the cool aid for a while now, but I believe we  
provide serious value and firepower to you, your team and your  
project on these topics.

The next Proving Ground is December 6-8, 2005 - More information is at:

I hope to see you there, and if you have any questions, feel free to  
get in touch with me directly (info below) to discuss this program,  
or these topics, at all.



Cheers,

Dan
