Defining Your Audience and Strategy A writing exercise designed to help you focus on and articulate the foundations of your information architecture and taxonomy strategy.
Determining Technology Requirements A diagramming exercise to expose the technical strategy that best supports your information architecture and taxonomy needs.
Taxonomy Construction Two related workshops that combine interactive experimentations with design tools and methodologies to build on the preceding workshops and begin building your taxonomy.
Building a Governance Document A writing and strategy exercise, this workshop allows you to begin developing this often overlooked best practice for information architecture and taxonomy projects.Using a template developed by Delphi, you will author the first draft of your corporate governance document.
