UKeiG offers three very different training days in September.
Tuesday 10 September 2013, London
Marketing and internal change: A case study based approach to strategic and operational development of your information service: Elisabeth Goodman & Shaida Dorabjee
Whether you, your department, or your overall organisation is introducing large-scale strategic change, or is looking to make more operational improvements, the chances are that you need to develop new e-services or e-products, new ways of working, and communicating new information and knowledge to your customers.
Marketing yourself, your products and your services, and leading and managing internal change, are not luxuries: they are a necessity for any professional looking to successfully position themselves and their business in today's economic climate. Understanding where you and your stakeholders are in the change process, and proactively promoting new products and services are essential skills for any information professional concerned with the effective delivery of e-information.
There are many well-tested techniques to help you enhance your skills for successful strategic and operational development. Through a series of case studies, including those provided by delegates in advance, this course will use the key components of marketing and change management to work through these specific scenarios in a participative and practical day.

Enterprise Search: Martin White
In most organisations website search and enterprise search applications are managed on an ad hoc basis, with limited staff and budget resources and no clear objectives other than "We want it to be as good as Google!". As with any corporate resource, search objectives and resources need to be set out in a strategy document that also reflects the relationship between content quality and search quality.
The course will be a mixture of presentations and group work to enable delegates to return to their organisations with a detailed template for a corporate search strategy that will cover
Defining objectives for website and enterprise search
Developing search personas and use cases
Who should take responsibility for a search strategy
The challenges of managing SharePoint and open source search applications
The role and responsibilities of a search manager
Assessing search performance, satisfaction and business impact
Integrating a search strategy with an information management strategy
Implications of mobile search
Planning for future requirements and technology advances
