Designing a Document Strategy, by Kevin Craine, MBA, is a book for managers, technicians and consultants who want to implement a document strategy for a large organization. The book describes a five-phase process that will guide readers through the design of document strategy tailored to their particular situations. Cause-effect diagrams, flow charts, and return on investment are presented in easy to understand terms. Case examples demonstrate how the methods in the book can be applied in the real world. As a result, readers are better prepared to take meaningful and informed action. Whatever decisions and recommendations readers ultimately make, they will be more likely to bring about real-world, bottom-line benefits. There is no better educational resource on designing a document strategy than this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Well written and useful,
By Simon Archer (Seattle WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing a Document Strategy (Paperback)
This book is well written and useful. It was recommended to me by one of our hardware suppliers and I'm glad I took the time to read it. Recently, my management assigned me to lead a team to put together a document strategy, but we did not know how to approach it. After several frustrating meetings not getting anywhere I started to use the book as an outline. Now we have several initiatives underway that I'm certain will save us hard dollars. Not only is the book a useful tool, it's easy and fun to read. We've purchased several to give to our bosses.

Valuable Tool,
By Douglas T (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing a Document Strategy (Paperback)
I ordered a copy of this book about a month ago and ended up giving it to my vice president...so now I'm back to get additional copies for my department. The author does an excellent job defining what a document strategy should be and demonstrating how important documents are to running a successful business. The approach is practical and in-depth without being overwhelming and overfilled with jargon. I found it to be an very valuable tool, and plan to use it with my staff to design strategies to help us save money and better communicate with our customers through our documents.

Ground-Breaking, a Must Have Book!,
By Allyson Goodwyn (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing a Document Strategy (Paperback)
There is a lot of talk about the importance of a document strategy in the information technology business. Most of what you hear is either entirely technical or mostly philosophical. Neither is much practical use in the real-world. "Designing a Document Strategy" is the first book to provide a workable process to design a strategy. Craine presents material from a number of areas, including Total Quality Management, Organizational Development, and Info Technology, and compiles it into a method that is both inspiring and pragmatic. This book is a must-have for anyone who is struggling to better manage information and corporate communications.
