Industry 4.0 is here today and driven by interconnection, information transparency, and decentralized decisions. Documentation 4.0 supports Industry 4.0 by providing evolving machine and site-specific documentation ingested from many systems. #convexlive @zzRikzz
CaaS content requirements: modular (no big content blobs!), metadata (must be addressable -- ids, labels, and categories), and formatting hooks (but not formatting). #convexlive @sarahokeefe
With CaaS, we don't have to break down the silos. CaaS extracts and combines appropriate info from each when a request is made. #convexlive @sarahokeefe
Content as a service reverses traditional publishing. Content not rendered nor distributed until it is requested. #convexlive @sarahokeefe
User experience challenge: simple and power are in conflict with one another. As power goes up, simplicity goes down, and vice versa. #convexlive

You're saying no to the request, not the person. #cidmbp
Don't be afraid to make decisions quickly. You don't have to be 100% right 100% of the time. A decision is a starting point, typically with wiggle room to make it work. #cidmbp
A good no is all about timing and logic -- it's in order whenever things are not allowed, cannot be done, or should not be done... It's communicated in a way that makes the asker feel respected. Bruce Tulgan, Learn When to Say No. #cidmbp
Seek/provide "air cover". Protect your staff. Empower your managers to say no; back them up. Enlist your boss's backing. Realize that your discipline will likely be welcomed and respected by many. @tonimantych #cidmbp
Help find best solution. Determine if your team can and should assist. If not explain why and help find the right team, if so, set expectations. Remember, "not now" may be an appropriate response. @tonimantych #cidmbp
Evaluate relative priority. Be dispassionate and objective about prioritization, but empathetic about asks and needs. Use a consistent set of business-driven questions. Develop an intake questionnaire and prioritization matrix. @tonimantych #cidmbp
Understand each ask. Avoid knee-jerk reactions and immediate answers (yes or no). Ask questions. Determine root need. @tonimantych #cidmbp
A considered no protects you. The right yes allows you to serve others, make a difference, collaborate successfully, and increase your influence. You want to gain a reputation for saying no at the right times for the right reasons and make every single yes count. #cidmbp
Be careful not to allow the "what" to obscure the impact of "how". The ends do not always justify the means. #cidmbp
