Your content is your best sales agent, marketing manager and client service executive. So investing in the design, development, localization and delivery of content is as strategic as sensitive to grow and sustain your business. During this interactive and much anticipated workshop you will learn more about drivers, enablers and challenges of global content effectiveness. You will understand why addressing the various content effectiveness facets matter more than ever when it comes to making or breaking customer experiences, turning content supply chains into experience value chains.

Master Classes – Full Day Session – €800 per attendee
Localization Management Master Class
Monday, July 11 Full Day
In the Localization Management Master Class we address principles and techniques to optimize the operation of your localization department as well as your effectiveness within the larger organization. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and to comment, sharing their challenges and experience.
The way localization is integrated into a company is critical to the company’s long term success because most enterprises will generate a large share of their revenue from global markets. A pivotal factor in achieving global success, localization often sneaks in through the back door and never gets the respect it deserves. It ends up being seen as a mere operational unit, a cost center if you will, and is not given the chance to contribute as the strategic asset it really is.
From setting up localization from scratch to repositioning it from a cost center to strategic partner is a complex journey, a journey Karen Combe knows well. For 15 of the 20 years she worked in localization at PTC, Karen had the opportunity to affect company policy and strategy as a Vice President.
