The benefits of Information Mapping

Readers love it

Readers love receiving content produced using Information Mapping. Why? The reasons are simple:

  • focused: it's what they need, instead of everything the writer knows.
  • complete: it's written at a level of detail that's appropriate for them.
  • logical: it's quicker and easier to find specific information.
  • clear: it's easy to understand what the writer is saying.

Writers swear by it

Writers who have learnt the Information Mapping approach love to apply it to their writing because it's:

  • systematic: easy to get up and running quickly.
  • efficient: writing content doesn't take so long.
  • organised: easy to develop reader focused outlines and structures.
  • consistent: a standardised approach, especially beneficial for teams.
  • reusable: quick to update units of information and easy to re-purpose them.

Organisations save time and costs

Organisations who train their people in Information Mapping quickly see a clear return on the investment they have made with:

  • increased productivity: employees perform tasks more efficiently and accurately.
  • increased customer satisfaction: customers receive communications which are accurate and clear.
  • reduced training time: employees learn new information more quickly and easily; supervisors and managers spend less time answering questions.
  • reduced errors: fewer issues with non-compliance and the quality of products or services.

Overall, information for customers, employees and suppliers becomes a more productive resource.
