For many people terminology is like the weather: Everyone talks about it but it seems like nobody does anything about it.

Not true. Thousands of companies use terminology management as a vital part of their strategies. It costs a bit, but terminology is everywhere and it costs far, far more to ignore it. And there is a lot that can be done, once you get started...!

This one-day seminar gives an overview of topics related to practical terminology work. No academic theorizing, no technobabble, no sales pitch – just good solid tips you can use to make your work run more smoothly.

• The basics of terminology theory and practice in an organization
• Deciding between process-based or project-based approaches to terminology issues
• Simple pro-terminology arguments you can use to convince your managers, your colleagues, your clients – or yourself!
• Get started climbing the terminology mountain, one step at a time
