A successful content ecosystem takes connections connected content, people, and systems. However, at many organizations, content is created in silos, powered by politics, and not driven by success metrics. It might be outdated or contradictory, have different voices, or be disconnected from audience needs. In those instances, content is a drain and an expense, rather than an asset. This presentation reveals how organizations of different types and sizes created content ecosystems that transformed their content into assets that deliver audience value and drive business success.
