David, great story about what you’re doing. Hope you’re presenting it somewhere soon (Learning Solutions?). Exactly: content strategy is the first step to achieving flexible and even adaptive delivery.

I have a platform that each client uses differently, and different roles use modules differently. So, although all content has SOME value to most users, the amount and depth of each topic varies wildly.

This requires significant breakdown of topics to they can be parsed and delivered to different parties, and requires a lot of metatagging at some level (my structuring is set up in a tool that facilitates delivery via folder structures and target audiences, but on the back end, it boils down to a form of meta-tagging, since it is reading the folders, audiences…).

The front end cost seems high, but the ongoing maintenance cost is very small. And, when content “breaks” it usually breaks in small parts where you can be nimble and respond modularly (and read it back in to larger content structures as a module).

I am currently dealing with a vast array of content (Help materials for existing software), but the same strategy will go with Experience designs (practice activities, assessments, etc.)
