An abridged version of my presentation in the documentation track at SDL Innovate San Francisco, June 2014. I argue that the principles of structure, purity, and intelligence -- long features of technical writing and documentation practices -- will be indispensable for the effective adoption of customer experience management (CXM or CEM) on a broad scale.

- 5. The presentation version of this deck begins with a summary of Stephen Greenblatt’s The Swerve (2011). That book relates how, in 1417, a “book hunter” named Poggio Bracciolini found perhaps the last extant copy of Lucretius’ On The Nature of Things (~58b.c.). Greenblatt convincingly argues that the rediscovery this great poem, which celebrated and extended the Greek atomist philosophy (all things made up of indescribably small particles that combine, dissolve, and recombine in an endless cycle) either literally or symbolically triggered the renaissance. Thus the medieval scriptorium, and the nameless scribes who copied and recopied the manuscript over more than 1000 years, arguably saved the world from the constraints of the dark ages and made modern culture and civilization possible. 5 Note to the abridged version

Instead, we have to think about how are we going to put more effort into crafting the description of our content, how are we going to put more effort into explaining all the different bits of our assets. And what that’s going to allow us to do is reuse our content more effectively and get more value out of it.” – Nic Newman, BBC 32 It’s all about Adaptive Content Thanks to Karen McGrane See: hOp://karenmcgrane.com/2012/09/04/adap$ng-‐ourselves-‐to-‐adap$ve-‐content-‐video-‐slides-‐and-‐ transcript-‐oh-‐my/once-‐publish-‐everywhere

- 40. Summary § What your produce plays a significant role in CXM across journey stages, formats, devices, and segments. § However: How you produce it – DITA and other structured processes – is far more important for the operationalization of on-going, effective CXM. § Orchestration of exceptional omnichannel experiences – this is the consumer demand – is impossible without structured, pure, intelligent assets – and the mature, reliable process for producing, combining, deploying, tracking, and analyzing them. § In other words, Lucretian atomism. § It’s up to the scriptorium to save the world.
