Taxonomy at ION, 6K terms later
Richard McGowan of ION

In this session

How do you go from nothing to a taxonomy of 6,000 terms, agreed and implemented across 13,000 people and 80 offices?

In this session, Richard McGowan talks us through how he did just that. Taking as his mantra the idea that ‘everybody is a content creator,’ he discusses how he got buy-in from senior sponsors, engaged with SMEs to get them onside, and worked to create a thriving content culture across the business. As he says: ‘I wanted to make my own job obsolete.’
