You probably have a good sense of your organization’s goals, but it’s good practice to review them with stakeholders so everyone agrees on objectives before you begin developing a framework for your content.
You can align user needs with organizational goals by developing a series of experiences that build user confidence and move them toward a goal. This series of experiences is called a “user journey.” In the sample journey below the user acquires the knowledge they need to be successful and the organization achieves a recruitment goal... everyone wins.
