Re: SXSW PanelPicker®

This is a universal challenge, common to every organisation and team I've worked with. We pour too much of our resources into short-term, campaign-driven work, and not nearly enough into planning and building for sustainability. I'd love to hear Margot speak on this – I think that her insightfulness, her creativity, and her years of experience across multiple industries make her exactly the right person to tackle this topic.

I've started to wrestle more and more with metadata in my work, and have found it difficult to get an overview of the field, and to understand what I need to know. I know that Rachel has years of experience in dealing with metadata, particularly from the perspective of a content strategist, and I would love to hear her give this talk.

I've been lucky enough to see two versions of this talk, one at CS Forum and one at Content Strategy Summit. This is SUCH an important topic right now, and Margot addresses it in a solid, elegant way. This talk is at once conceptual AND actionable. There's nothing fluffy or insubstantial about Margot's approach; it's concrete and well-structured, yet incredibly engaging. I can't recommend this talk highly enough. Our industry needs this now.

A video of the original talk that this will be based on, from Content Strategy Forum 2014, has now been posted here: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I gave a slightly updated version of the talk at the Content Strategy Summit on 19 August, and the slides are on Slideshare: http://www.slideshare.net/k...

Absolutely, Jonathon. Our systems are not just made of technology. They're made of people too, and we don't spend nearly enough time focusing on that.

Thanks so much, Margot. It's been amazing to see how much this talk resonates with people.

Thanks, Rachel. Yes, these issues do apply well beyond content strategy, and for the SXSW audience I would certainly broaden my approach. It can only be good for our organizations – and the services and products we create – if we ALL work a little harder at understanding one another's behaviors and motivations.

Thanks, Gigi and Kat.

Gigi, I don't know about you, but I think I tend to say yes to things not because I *can't* say no, but because in that moment I truly believe it would be a good idea and that I'll be able to handle it.

Kat, thanks for reading and commenting. I'm so grateful for the interactions that being more open about my struggles has prompted. xx

Oh Cara, I feel your pain. I'm considering a nice little cabin in the woods somewhere. (Somewhere that doesn't have spiders, obviously.)

I know! And I got one who can actually shimmy, which really is an added bonus.

Same here. I have no idea why so many South African twitterers seem to prefer Posterous over Tumblr. I'm really starting to enjoy being here, and only wish I'd started using it sooner - it's like a little scrapbook, which suits my scattered attention style perfectly. It just works.
