About my talk

When Centrelink, Medicare and Child Support Agencies combined as the Department of Human Services (DHS), it was quickly evident that a centralized online publishing team was not going to cut the mustard. This session will share the frameworks, methods and resources used to build and support a distributed authoring environment, whilst still delivering data integrity, corporate style and online quality.

Through sharing his team’s experience, Adam will provide insight to the DHS online world, including aspects of:

  • process rigor (education and certification)
  • engagement and peer support (Yammer)
  • requirements and guidelines (PublishingToolbox)
  • best practice harvesting(templates)
