Summary

When Forrester introduced persuasive content in 2005, we described it, along with transactional and business content, as a different way for information and knowledge management (I&KM) professionals to look at their enterprise content.

And it forces many marketing and eBusiness operations professionals to rethink how they operate and support the "essential plumbing" of their persuasive content management initiatives. Many persuasive content management initiatives fail not because of technology, but because the enterprise doesn't have the right operations in place, contributing to poor customer experiences. I&KM pros in these marketing and eBusiness operations groups need content technology knowledge managers, experienced program managers, content-knowledgeable technologists and architects, and dedicated resources to help manage content on behalf of business people.
