Online training: fundamentals of a successful intranet
James Robertson is a sought-after expert on intranets, and he has keynoted conferences and workshops across the globe. For the first time, there is a now a full online training course that gives you access to this latest thinking on intranet strategy and management.
Published as a joint initiative of CMS Watch and Step Two Designs, this five-hour course covers key topics for all intranet teams, and gives insight into a range of practical methodologies, models and techniques.
Step Two Designs has spent the last decade examining the practices of intranet teams, with the goal of uncovering and sharing what works (and what doesn’t). Having distilled this information onto a series of best-practice workshops, this online course provides access to this same insight for teams around the globe.
Based on best-practice methodologies, this course provides a clear picture of the current state of intranets and future directions. It will allow you to identify the factors involved in delivering a successful intranet, as well as providing a straightforward approach to identify potential improvements. This course is relevant for owners of existing intranets as well as those planning to create a new intranet.
Screenshots are provided throughout, giving examples of best practices and innovative solutions. Samples of the techniques also give a concrete idea of how to put them into practice. Links are also provided at the end of each module to additional resources to build team skills and experience.
How the course works
This online course has been produced in partnership with CMS Watch, the global leader on vendor-neutral technology advice relating to information management. Created by Step Two Designs, this intranet course is just one of the online courses offered by CMS Watch.

This allows you to absorb the material at your own pace, and to spend more time on key sections that are relevant to your current situation. Links to further resources act as a pointer for further research.
