From serious solutions to simple sanity checks...
You need an objective set of eyes to take a fresh look and find a creative solution! I can help.
Global Audit
This is a review of content to identify any potential problems for localization. I can help you identify problems in terminology control, inconsistency, ambiguous or fluffy writing, bad graphics, and even poor tool usage.
I can then recommend ways that you can improve both the source content and your internal procedures to streamline localization efforts and reduce costs.
Usability
I can help you design and implement usability tests on the product and product documentation. By finding the problems before a final release, you can make changes to improve the overall UX (user experience) of the documentation.
Tech Pubs P&P
Are you dissatisfied with your internal P&P (policies and procedures)? Do you struggle to get writers and editors to comply with styles and branding issues? Do you feel as though everyone is pulling in a different direction?
I can analyze your current P&P and your team dynamics, and then recommend ways to improve the methods while building better teamwork.
