Resources and Communications

While 45 minutes of audio sounds like a daunting listen, we highly recommend members check out the presentation and MP3 recording of the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) workshop delivered by Ian Harrow, Wendy Filsell, and Dietrich Rebholz Schuhmann last May. The Pistoia members do an excellent job of contextualizing the objectives of the SESL team. "Our success metrics are testing against the feasibility of the service, not delivering a finished tool," says the team.  The questions from the publishers provide tremendous insights into how to communicate the Alliance's work to key stakeholders.  

And speaking of communication, Pistoia Alliance has engaged a consultant to assist with building a communication strategy for the Alliance. Deborah Ausman is a communications strategist with over 20 years experience working with software vendors and leading publications such as Bio-IT World. She'll be working with Nick Lynch and John Wise initially on activities such as this newsletter and our website. In the meantime, we'd love your feedback on how Pistoia could do better at communicating its messages and achievements.
