Embarking on an intranet project can seem like a very daunting task. Over the years, companies have come to us for advice on how to make their internal communities work effectively. In our experience the most important part of an intranet project is the planning stage.

As an organisation we believe that a successful intranet helps to create an internal community by improving communication amongst employees, effectively connecting them to the relevant information they require to do their job. Ensuring you have the right content is vital to motivate staff and help them feel part of their community.

Our experience has shown us that the most successful communities are those that have followed a structured plan for their intranet project. To make a community work it is essential to find out what users require from their intranet and to capture this information effectively.

SORCE have devised a course which covers the vital steps to ensure your new community is a success. Aimed at anyone planning, managing or delivering an intranet project, the course will guide you through the three different stages of creating an effective intranet plan.

These are:-

1. Understanding your business requirements.
2. Identifying and and gathering content for your intranet.
3. How to optimise the user experience.

Being non product specific, our aim is to share our extensive knowledge of internal communities and give you the necessary tools to create a clear plan of your company’s requirements. Understanding these techniques will leave you with the confidence to successfully plan and create your new community.

The course is run by Martyn Green, an intranet consultant who has been involved in delivering intranet technology for over 14 years.
