I invented strategy.
![Page 19: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
It didn’t always work
![Page 20: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
My theory wasn’t fact.
![Page 21: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Classical American Method!

1950s. No kidding!
![Page 23: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The age of the Alfreds
![Page 24: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Scientific management means a constant search for the facts, the true actualities, and their intelligent, unprejudiced analysis. Thus, and in no other way, policies and their administration are determined… Only by increased knowledge can we progress, perhaps I had better say survive.” (Sloan 1941)
![Page 25: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
“Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.”
-John Maynard Keynes (1936)
![Page 26: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Also, very quietly, around 1955the “information age” began.
![Page 27: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Did it work? 1960s: Everybody did it1970s: Competitive advantage 1980s: Market positioning 1990s: Focus inside
![Page 28: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Results: Silos
![Page 29: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Results: Layers
![Page 30: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
60 years later “Strategy” is necessary to survive Profit is the #1 outcome of strategy Classically-educated finance guys make the
best “generals”Constant research and measurement is
required – and must map to money (report progress quarterly)
Work is done in functional silos
![Page 31: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Guess what, it’s not 1950 anymore.
![Page 32: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
"Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else — if you run very fast for a long time, as we've been doing.“
"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!“
- Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass

Adaptability is the key Today’s sustainable strategies need to have: Flexible frameworksOngoing learning/educationQuick responses and reactions Strategic routines vs. long-term
strategies
![Page 34: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Knowledge is the advantageKnowledge: Gives you the ability to change quickly Is valuable precisely because it’s not easily
captured Is dispersed throughout the organizationRelies on innovation, which is not obviously
profitable Requires constant learning and education

Organizations need content to survive.
They need us.
And, some of them even know it.
![Page 38: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

We don’t play by the rules.
Rebel yell! Mo, mo,
mo!

Not always at c-level
![Page 43: Strategy: Content Strategy's Other Half](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110119/5556e0ead8b42ac60c8b48d8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Can’t define value conventionally

They need us anyway.

Never forget journalism is a service industry.

Think of strategy as a VERB
Everything you do, needs to do one of these things: Create clarity Align stakeholders Make smart decisions Operationalize change

Deliverables are tools, not outcomes
Education moments Conversation starters Records of past conversations Memory aids

We can be strategists AND engineers Strategy sets the stage/direction Engineering creates a solution
based on expertise As content professionals we often
do bothAnd, both are extremely important
