Gerry McGovern  

Many satisfied clients

Fonterra logo“Gerry's masterclass delivered invaluable insights on how we might best achieve our goals, examples of best practice we can communicate to our content owners, a strong reminder to always keep the user in mind, and focus to enable us to deliver our next steps. The workshop was extremely well received by all who attended and would be recommended to anyone currently managing or intending to launch an intranet. The sooner the better!”
Fonterra Intranet Team (Fonterra, a New Zealand company, is the world's largest exporter of dairy products.)


Microsoft Logo“I invited Gerry McGovern to speak at Content Publishing Day 2005, a conference held inside Microsoft for full-time employees involved in publishing activities related to our software, services, web properties, customer support, and learning products. Gerry was a definite crowd-pleaser, receiving a 96 percent attendee satisfaction rating. There has also been a very positive response to his book Content Critical within the company. He has definitely sparked interest in his ideas within Microsoft.”
Suzanne Sowinska, Manager, Content Publishing Excellence, Microsoft Corporation


Pioneer Logo"Gerry's seminar was a highly inspiring experience. Essential Killer-Content lessons were presented in great simplicity, with perfect timing, style and humour. We ended the session with very practical, relevant and realistic conclusions. Simply unforgettable!"
Raphael Nolens, eMarketing Manager, European Marketing Communication Division, Pioneer Europe


SPIE logo“Teaching is an art that reaches beyond the conveyance of information. McGovern’s Content Management workshop delivered valuable information to an organization that has been managing websites since 1995; in addition, McGovern’s ability to engage his audience is extraordinary.

"He kept a conference room full of very busy, slightly jaded, high-level staff fully involved for an entire day. I recommend Gerry and his workshop to everyone struggling with the practical management of their website and/or managing their organization’s unrealistic expectations.

"His focus on the customer will help to mitigate the politics of operating your website, and you will get lots of practical and actionable information in the context of a thoroughly engaging presentation. Who says you aren’t supposed to have fun in class?”
Jacqueline Sentenne Pettit, Director, Marketing, SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering


UCSD Blink logo"Thanks so much for the excellent workshop at University of California, San Diego. For those of us who have been striving to do the right thing in creating and managing web content, you gave us tools and techniques that will help us put some rigor and discipline back into our process.

"For our partners in other UCSD departments, and at other UC campuses, who are just getting started in large web content projects, this was the right message at the right time, and presented in just the right way.

"All the feedback I’ve received has been glowing, and even some of my colleagues who have become somewhat jaded about web-related conferences and workshops came away enthused. You’re the best!"
Rick VanderKnyff, Manager, staff and student web portal projects, University of California, San Diego


NZCS logo"The response to Gerry's visit to New Zealand in October 2003 was amazing, his Wellington workshop was a sell out. Gerry has a wonderful presence as a speaker, the audience were totally enthralled. His workshop content is clear and concise, Gerry has a clear simple way of delivering his message, he knows his topic well and was generous with information that will make your daily work flow better."
Cheryl Horo, National Office Manager of the NZ Computer Society


HUD logo“Our colleagues at the Environmental Protection Agency were right: hiring Gerry McGovern to teach HUD web managers about web content was one of the best things we ever did!”
Candis Harrison, web manager for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)


HSBC logo"Gerry delivered a clear, entertaining and content-rich presentation. His ideas were clever, and many could be instantly applied to the HSBC intranet in Hong Kong. I was impressed that Gerry managed to hold the audience's attention for four hours without skipping a beat."
Nhan Chiem, Business Communications Manager, HSBC.


Petro-Canada logo“Gerry McGovern gave us common sense advice for why we should resist playing the role of the “putter uppers” in the company. We now have a better idea of how to stay focused on content critical to the customer, how to optimize and measure our efforts, communicate to management and ultimately save the company money. Anyone who’s grappling with what seems to be an unmanageable volume of ever-growing content will find Gerry’s workshop a good place to start turning content into an asset.”
Lucy Payette, Web Content Manager, Petro-Canada


EPA logo"We received a stunning, overwhelming response to your presentations at our conference. I'd say that 90 percent of the evaluations listed you as the "best part" of the conference." Sharon Bowen, US Environmental Protection Agency


Logo"Two hundred University of Minnesota Web editors can't be wrong. Gerry McGovern is the King of Content!" Mark Engebretson, University of Minnesota


ACS Logo"Knowledge is about capturing and sharing. Your workshop is a knowledge fest; well designed and very enjoyable."
Wayne Knack, Director Australian Computer Society, Professional Development Board.


HP logo"Gerry has a gift for making the complex simple, the basics fresh, and the important compellingly so. This he accomplished with irrefutable logic, a dollop of wit, and a double serving of passion. The man knows his stuff -- and will make a believer out of you."
David Shaw, Asia-Pacific Brand & Communications Manager, HP Services, Hewlett-Packard Company
