Lectures and Seminars

Kevin Craine is well known in the document industry and offers lectures
and seminars modeled after his popular book "Designing a Document
Strategy." Sessions are constructed in a variety of ways, and tailored
specifically for document industry professionals. Executives, front-line
managers, technical consultants, and sales and marketing staff will all
benefit from these compelling and entertaining presentations. Industry
experts agree that there is no better educational resource available for the
design and implementation of a corporate document strategy.

Available Presentations

Keynote Address - Whether digital or paper, documents are the tools that
run business every day. In his keynote lectures Mr. Craine describes why
documents are important, how they are strategically critical to doing
business, and how to minimize the liabilities and maximize the
effectiveness of corporate documents. These lectures, typically between
45 and 75 minutes, also explore how documents have served as an aide
to human communication throughout time and how that role translates to
how we do business in the current "Information Age."

Training Seminars - These more detailed seminars step through the
5-phase "Document Strategy Model" described in Mr. Craine's popular
book, "Designing a Document Strategy." These sessions, typically
between 2 and 4 hours, detail the process and assessments necessary to
design and implement a document strategy for a large organization.
Practical tools and templates are provided to determine your most critical
documents, understand the process that creates them, and how to
implement process improvements that will result in real-world, bottom-line
benefits.

Custom Sessions - Presentations can be tailored to meet your specific
needs - whether casual or formal, instructional or inspirational, technically
detailed or from the 30 thousand foot level. Sessions of any length can be
constructed to accommodate your particular event, and combine elements
of Mr. Craine's keynote material along with a brief overview of his popular
Document Strategy Model. Custom sessions can concentrate on specific
individual topics as well, such as selling your strategy, constructing a
compelling proposal, or managing the effects of transformational change
in the workplace.
