Designing editorial processes successfully

Editorial teams for technical communication are constantly facing new challenges. But how can these be turned into real opportunities? In this practice-oriented workshop, you will learn effective methods for optimizing the editorial process. In small groups of 3-5 people, you will analyze and optimize the editorial process in several phases using a fictitious technical editorial office. You will use methods from design thinking, which you can ideally also use in your own editorial offices. Throughout the workshop, you will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and compare your results with those of other groups. The workshop will be supplemented by two short keynote speeches on why change is necessary in the first place and how it can be achieved with successful change management.

Abstract

Editorial teams for technical communication are constantly facing new challenges. But how can these be turned into real opportunities? In this practice-oriented workshop, you will learn effective methods for optimizing the editorial process. In small groups of 3-5 people, you will analyze and optimize the editorial process in several phases using a fictitious technical editorial office. You will use methods from design thinking, which you can ideally also use in your own editorial offices. Throughout the workshop, you will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and compare your results with those of other groups. The workshop will be supplemented by two short keynote speeches on why change is necessary in the first place and how it can be achieved with successful change management.
