Managing digital projects successfully requires us to re-think much of the ‘old’ publishing process. Starting with how we identify projects and the new questions we need to ask: Blended or born digital, how do you decide what’s right for your customers? Will customers pay for it? Can you deliver it at a profit? Do you have the required customer relationships and channels? Includes case examples, templates and models from different book publishing sectors.
AIMS
- Blended or born digital, how do you decide what’s right for your customers?
- Assessing the potential of your digital project.
- How do we maintain control and make the right decisions to ensure that we deliver profitable publishing to our companies?
- Business models, pricing, product life-cycle, renewals and retention – what will work for your customers?
- Developing and managing digital products - user feedback, agile publishing, Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), content workflows, new content types and use of standards e.g. EDUPUB, QTI (Quiz and Test Interoperability), data & analytics.
What’s the day like?
With just enough technical content so that you understand the issues you most need to, this is delivered by a UK publisher whose experience has encompassed ‘traditional’ print publishing through to born digital, and who also sees the challenges from the perspective of a commissioning editor.
Who should attend?
Editors with responsibility for digital publishing of book related content, whether born digital or ‘add on’ as part of a blended project.
