Part II: Set Up for Success

For car insurance companies, the No. 1 indicator of a safe driver is how often they have to slam on the brakes. That’s what those little thingies they put in your car measure. For content strategy projects—well, most projects—I’ve learned that the No. 1 indicator of success is getting the right stakeholders involved.
