Intranets when organisations merge (Sydney & Brisbane)
Categorised under: Conferences & presentations
A new round of government agency mergers is sweeping through NSW and Queensland, creating a range of new “super agencies”.
In most cases, the existing departments have intranets, and the obvious question to ask is: what to do with these multiple intranets?
When agencies merge, there is considerable pressure to move quickly, and to rapidly launch a single intranet site that reflects the new naming, and serves all staff. This is no easy task, particularly when the existing intranet teams are themselves still merging.
What is needed is a clear way forward for intranet teams, that allows a transitional site to be quickly released, followed by a longer-term strategy for delivering a comprehensive intranet site. Intranet teams also need a process for determining new team structures, governance and management models.
Step Two Designs has organised a pair of one-off workshops to bring agencies together to determine practical strategies, and to share best practices:
Sydney: 8 October 2009
Brisbane: 14 October 2009
These sessions will be highly interactive, combining the experiences of the participants with the best practices identified by Step Two, the recognised intranet experts.
