Valuable and Informative Phone Seminar!!!

Demonstrating the Value of Technical Communication Products and Services

Wednesday, January 28, 2004 1-2:30 PM ET

Are you concerned that your job or your department is on the line? If so, this entertaining, informative, and interactive presentation by Saul Carliner will:

identify common challenges to our value posed by both management and technical professionals
explain that value is a perception, not a formula
suggest types of data that support your value to the organization
propose a framework for collecting that data
discuss how and to whom you can most effectively present the data

Participants will use the information to solve "real world" cases in which technical communicators must demonstrate their value.
