March 2005 Program Meeting: Demonstrating the ROI on Technical Communication

As technical communication jobs move around the globe, how do you make the case for your abilities and qualifications? It’s easy to say “become a strategic contributor” instead of providing commodity writing, but putting it into practice takes more than a declaration. It takes time and energy at both the strategic and tactical levels.

Rahel Bailie is a technical communicator who made the leap from technical writer to technical communication consultant. At this interactive session, she will share techniques for moving up the value chain, including reframing work experience and demonstrating ROI to further your career. Rahel is the STC Region 7 Director. She has over 15 years of experience in management.
