What I really appreciate about the book is how it guides you through a systematic end-to-end approach, with the emphasis on eight basic phases of work (plan, assess, define, design, build, publish, measure/optimize and govern). I can say from my own experience as a Senior Business Analyst how important it is that all of these phases be considered - especially when sometimes there is a tendency on projects to jump right into the design & build phase without first taking the initial phases into consideration. Additionally, I like how the book highlights the importance of continuous measurement & optimizing the performance of our content to ensure that it remains relevant for those who consume it. Moreover, it talks about properly wrapping governance around our content, systems & processes to help ensure that they remain stable and positioned to grow effectively.I am confident that Enterprise Content Strategy will serve me well on future initiatives.

It doesn’t try to cover every aspect of content strategy in lurid detail – but points to other resources to help the reader explore further. Highly recommended.
Kevin Nichols is a thought leader and advocate for thoughtful content strategy. He's a practitioner, lecturer, mentor and pioneer in the field. I've been studying his work for years and have used his inventory and stakeholder questionnaire templates as guidelines for many discovery phases.So few resources on Content Strategy truly elucidate each phase and its accompanying methodology of myriad projects -- redesigns, to content migrations, to content production and manintenance. Kevin outlines in sublime detail Omnichannel and multichannel strategy elements and considerations; governance processes, identifying content requirements, how to properly scope projects, a checklist of best pratices, advocacy for Content First, and a faceted taxonomy reference.As a true practitoner of the disclipine, I cannot recommend this book enough. You cannot call yourself a content strategist if you miss this comprehensive guidepost on every aspect of Enterprise Content Strategy.

If your work is enterprise content strategy, solving content creation, management, and governance problems for complex clients and companies, then you need this book.I happily read a paper version, highlighting numerous pages and passages with yellow marker and sticky notes. I was speaking about the book so enthusiastically to a fellow content strategist that I just had to lend it to him.Content strategy is complicated – so many issues and questions to consider for every client, for every product, for every user. I always worry that I won’t ask the right question that might unlock the secret for a project. Fortunately, that’s a lot less likely now, thanks to this project guide.Nichols examines the steps of the content strategy project lifecycle and clearly lists the questions we need to ask in every one of these steps. He offers how-to insights from someone who has clearly been in the trenches. He knows the questions to ask -- who you need to collaborate with and what details to consider. As I read the book, I felt as if I was getting advice from a thoughtful manager, guiding me along to ask the right questions to guide me and my projects to success.Oh, by the way, my coworker hasn’t given my copy of the book back. I’m going to have to buy another one. You probably should have one too.
