In-house workshops

As you're probably aware, we've got a pile of upcoming workshops planned throughout Australia. We've put a lot of work into designing these, and they have been very well received by past participants.

For some years now, we have also been providing in-house workshops for organisations. We've been fairly quiet about these, but they too have been working well. So it seemed like a good time to raise the visibility of this option, as it gives a great way for organisations to build up their internal knowledge and expertise (something we have as a key goal for all our activities).

Standard workshop topics include:

• Intranet strategy: provides intranet teams with a set of tools and models to plan the redevelopment and growth of their intranet, including the 6x2 methodology for intranets.
• Intranet management: helps intranet teams review the management of their site, and provides new tools for planning, including the Intranet Hive.
• Intranet alignment: brings together all the internal intranet stakeholders for a day of facilitated discussions, with the goal of building a consensus on how the intranet should proceed.
• Usability and information architecture: gives hands-on experience with key usability and information architecture techniques, such as card sorting, paper prototyping and usability testing. Great for building up in-house skills in preparation for a website or intranet redesign.
• Selecting a CMS: shares best-practice insights into the content management marketplace, and how to go about selecting a new CMS.
• Collaboration and knowledge management: explores practical insights and approaches into making these things a reality within modern organisations. Includes a number of unique models and methodologies.

All of these workshops can be tailored or mixed-and-matched, and we are happy to construct one-off workshops to fit specific circumstances. (We can also run these workshops internationally, as part of the regular trips we make throughout the world.)
