Structured content authoring in pharma requires authors to think about content as a set of building blocks of information rather than as full documents or other deliverables. Even after you have made this shift in mindset, it can take some time to develop the skills that enable you to write for content reuse and automation. It takes some training and some practice to solidify these new habits. Structured writing in pharma is based on the principles of consistency and clarity. These principles do not depend on technology.
