Intro and Training Offer

There is so little traffic on here, I frequently forget that I had  
signed up months ago.

That said, it doesn't help that I never introduced myself!

I'll start with my organization - As you may be aware, Delphi Group  
has been involved in the Content/Information Management space from a  
consulting, event, and research/advisory standpoint for roughly 16  
years.

As all of this has been adopted, there have been many stumbling  
points in implementation - information remains lost, even once in a  
central location, and even with a central repository, anywhere from  
20-80% of enterprise content is still not within the repository, and  
remains unfindable.

We've been running an event called Delphi's Proving Ground for  
Information Architecture & Taxonomy for nearly 5 years now, and have  
had hundreds of attendees representing organizations across a wide  
variety of industries, from aerospace to pharmaceuticals, financial  
services to gas, power, energy, and more.

If your organization is experiencing pains with findability and in  
connecting your unstructured information systems together as a  
working WHOLE solution, this very project-focused (you MUST bring a  
project related to Information Architecture or Taxonomy), team- 
oriented (teams of 2-12 are quite common, although single attendees  
are welcome) event is specifically built to help break your project  
out of a stuck mode or get your freshly launched project positioned  
for successful implementation.

We have been covering faceted classification as a portion of this  
program since we had first created it, but are spending more and more  
time within the last 9 months or so diving deeper into faceted  
classification.

As for me, I've been one of the instructors/consultants with this  
program area for 4 years, and have been with Delphi Group for 11+ years.

(and feel free to comment - let me know if I'm off my rocker, dead  
on, or anywhere else on or off the target)

I will grant you that I may have been drinking our cool aid for a  
while now, but I believe we provide serious value and firepower to  
you, your team and your project on these topics.

The next Proving Ground is March 7-9, 2006 in beautiful Boca Raton,  
Florida - which is coming up fast.

I hope to see you there, and if you have any questions, feel free to  
get in touch with me directly (info below) to discuss this program,  
or these topics, from any and all angles.


Cheers,
Dan
