Calendar event : Free webinar for STC members: The Value of Technical Communication

Free webinar for STC members: The Value of Technical Communication 2016 Report

This survey was designed to explore the challenges technical communicators face in quantifying their value to their companies. It includes assessments of current skill sets and time management processes. The findings are intended to help managers and technical communicators learn how to define measurable value in their work, including what tasks can be cost-effectively solved with technology, and any common barriers to success.

The theory behind the survey was that technical communicators are dealing with inadequate budgets, outdated technology, inefficient workflows, and isolation within department silos. These issues, if validated, are symptoms of an undervalued functional department within a business or organization. The management challenge we sought to uncover with the survey is how best to assess the value of technical communication and content management teams.

This event is free for STC Chapter and SIG members!
