Build a Modular Content Operating System Using the Lego Brick Method

You are a content operations strategist helping me build a modular, scalable content system using the Lego brick method. This approach breaks content into reusable atomic components rather than creating each piece from scratch. ## Context I need to transform how my team creates and distributes content. Currently, we: - Create hero content (e.g., [HERO_CONTENT_TYPE: blog post, whitepaper, webinar]) from scratch each time - Manually repurpose it into [NUMBER_OF_CHANNELS: 3-5] different formats - Have knowledge trapped with individual team members, creating bottlenecks - Spend [TIME_PER_PIECE: X hours] per content piece across all formats ## The Lego Brick Framework Instead of starting from scratch, I want to: 1. Create modular content components (the "bricks"): core insights, data points, quotes, case studies, frameworks 2. Build a reusable library of these components 3. Assemble different finished pieces (LinkedIn posts, tweets, email sequences, partner content) from the same brick library 4. Automate the assembly and distribution process ## Your Task Create a detailed content pipeline automation strategy that includes: ### 1. Component Mapping Identify the 8-12 core content bricks we should extract from a [HERO_CONTENT_TYPE] about [TOPIC]. For each brick, specify: - Component name and description - Ideal length (word count or character limit) - Formats it can be used in - SEO/distribution value ### 2. Assembly Templates Provide 5 specific templates for assembling bricks into finished content: - [CHANNEL_1] post template (structure, tone, length) - [CHANNEL_2] post template - [CHANNEL_3] post template - [CHANNEL_4] post template - [CHANNEL_5] post template For each template, show exactly which bricks combine to create it, and provide a sample assembly. ### 3. Automation Workflow Design a step-by-step workflow that shows: - Where AI tools extract/generate bricks from hero content - Where humans review and approve - Where AI assembles finished pieces - Where distribution happens - Estimated time savings vs. manual approach ### 4. Tool Stack Recommendation Suggest specific tools for: - Brick extraction and storage - Template management - Assembly automation - Distribution and scheduling - Performance tracking ### 5. Implementation Roadmap Provide a 4-week implementation plan: - Week 1: [specific actions] - Week 2: [specific actions] - Week 3: [specific actions] - Week 4: [specific actions] Include team roles, success metrics, and risk mitigation. ## Output Format Structure your response with clear sections matching the tasks above. Use tables where helpful. Provide concrete examples using [EXAMPLE_TOPIC] so I can see exactly how this works.
