Maybe you want to increase your internal communication or improve the efficiency of your staff, or maybe your intranet just isn’t working and you don’t know why?

We run a two day training course that shares tools and techniques to empower you and your staff to deliver a successful intranet to your organisation.

In just two days you will discover:

  1. The six key stages to delivering a successful project
  2. How to identify key stakeholders and capture their requirements
  3. What content is available, and how important each item of content really is
  4. How to identify your business’ killer intranet opportunities
  5. How to turn requirements into functionality that works for your audience
  6. An understanding of usability and the psychology behind good design

Starting a new intranet project can be tough, you may know where you want to get to but unsure how to get there. We share the experience we have gained from over 300 intranet projects implemented all over the world.

What Others have Said..

“Although I’ve worked on many projects and programmes that have included delivery of an intranet, I learned so, so much more on this course. It was interesting, lively, informative and fun, delivered by very knowledgeable presenters. I took away many tips, tricks and tools that I will use not only on intranet projects but any project where humans and software meet. Pretty much every project then! Undoubtedly one of the best courses I’ve been on. Thank you!”

John Odam-Adjei

“Very useful. I have a clear idea of the process needed to deliver an easy to use and successful intranet can’t wait to get back to the office to start.”

Sam Hovey, Radcliffes Le Brasseur

“Very useful, informative and practical. I feel a lot more confident in the delivery of my company’s intranet project now. Thank you.”

Katy Stanley, Neopost Ltd

“This was a really engaging, well structured course with great resources. I especially appreciated the USB stick/bible – it’s going to be so helpful. I’d highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to get to grips understanding what good looks like. These guys could not have been more helpful and engaging even in the post lunch graveyard slot!”
