City of Malmö: Improving the intranet so it remains user-centric
The City of Malmö is a Swedish local government body with 28,000 employees. As part of a wider digital transformation, its intranet ‘Komin’ has gone through a comprehensive redesign and replatforming. This involves a new user experience and information architecture, as well as an extensive use of personalisation. Since the launch, the intranet has evolved through continual improvement and ongoing end user engagement.
There is an extensive use of impact maps to support the prioritisation of new features and ensure that the intranet is aligned to strategic goals. The intranet team is also working on a wider digital workplace impact map with accompanying instructions to allow other application owners through the organisation to use impact mapping.
Overall, the new redesign of Komin has achieved high levels of user satisfaction and good adoption.
