Selling your ideas to your company

As a technical communicator, you are up-to-date on all of the new writing methods and innovative tools of the trade. You know how important content reuse is, how critical good templates are, and how best to work on a team. However, when you identify a better method, a better tool, or recognize opportunities for process improvements, it can be a challenge to get others to explore your solution and to get a budget approved.

Join us for our March webinar, when Lisa Pietrangeli of ThirtySix Software will talk about how to build and present a case for improvements for your company. She will address a specific experience she had working with a tech writing team which involved building a case for new tools and a restructure of a tech writing department in order to save the company significant time and money. Lisa will also talk about subjects that speak directly to decision makers like ROI and accelerating time-to-market as well as how process efficiencies have lasting impact.
