Guardians of NZ Superannuation: Executing a model intranet project

The Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation has designed and launched a new iteration of their SuperCharged intranet based on SharePoint Online, focusing on out-of-the-box features. Following a five-step implementation methodology, the team has involved people from the business throughout the process to deliver a user-centric platform. Notable elements in the project include using a “four voices” model to consider involvement from stakeholders, a six-step model for interacting with content owners, a set of content principles, and a good use of content templates.

Their comprehensive approach to governance also includes a centre of excellence for content owners, a task-based approach to navigation, enhanced search and refreshed content with improved findability. The new intranet is significantly better than the previous iteration, and enjoys good adoption.
