Introducing the Core Model
The Core Model is a timeless and practical method that anyone working with content should know. The method has been tested in the trenches for more than a decade, and is used and loved by content strategists and designers all over the world.

Anyone can understand the basics of the model in less than 5 minutes, yet it has plenty of power "under the hood" that you can utilize in a multitude of ways.

“I’ve seen [the Core Model] transform the way clients not only approach problem-solving and design, but also how they approach (and successfully untangle) large, complex projects.”
Larry Swanson, Content Architect at Elless Media
"The Core Model's elegant integration of strategic considerations and implementation details has made it the Swiss Army knife in my content strategy and design toolkit.”
Magnus Revang, former Research Vice President at Gartner
“One of the greatest benefits of being Norwegian is not abundant nature and oil riches, it's the fact that the Core Model has been available to us for years.”
