Ready for the world-premier in London of our “Intranet design + redesign” workshop
Categorised under: Conferences & presentations
Phew! It’s been a busy week, and I’m glad to finally be on a plane to Europe. One of the bigger projects was putting the finishing touches to our brand-new Intranet design + redesign workshop.
I’ve been running intranet strategy workshops for years now. They’ve run in over a dozen countries around the globe, and have always been well received. One constant request I’ve had though: “when are you going to run something on how to design the intranet?”.
The time has finally come, and I’m very pleased with how the workshop has turned out. This is our most polished and refined workshop yet, as befits the subject material. It’s structured around five key areas:
- Work out what to deliver
- Follow a strong methodology
- Get the structure and navigation right
- Design the pages
- Sort out the home page
As you might’ve guessed from this list, the workshop is very practical, drawing on our experience with literally hundreds of intranets. This is my promise to participants:
- If there is a clear principle to follow, I’ll state it (“the answer”)
- Otherwise, I’ll provide a clear methodology to follow (“how to work out the answer”)
- In some cases, there may be more than one solution, and we’ll talk them through (“the options”)
- I’ll always provide pragmatic advice, based on what has worked for real intranet teams
As it turns out, there will be a world-premier of the workshop in London later this week (with a few places still left). Closer to home, I’ll then be running it in Sydney and Canberra later in October. I’ll report back on how the day goes, and drop me a line if you’d like the workshop run in your local area.
