What You’ll Learn

High-quality bid content is integral to winning business. Maintaining consistency of message across multiple languages is a significant challenge. The challenges only increase when teams are asked to work in a second language. The potential to be unclear or accidentally say the wrong thing and so fail to communicate your ideas becomes a risk that cannot be ignored.

We will describe how to get your content strategy right. We will show you how, by writing for reuse, you can remain consistent across languages and say what you mean. We will provide tips on what to look for when reviewing content produced by second-language authors. We will tell you how to manage a multilingual content library and describe best practice processes for creating and revising content.

Attendees will gain an understanding of the steps that they should follow to robustly and consistently govern their content and so win more business at home and abroad.
