Presentation from Intranets2015

About my talk

The Syngenta intranet was once a disparate collection of over 11,000 individual sites, each relevant to anywhere between 0 and all 30,000+ staff. Heather will share the principles that underpin their strategy to establish an integrated intranet that is increasingly relevant to each person in the company. She will give you a glimpse of the company’s journey towards integration and relevance, including some of the challenges, compromises, successes, and quotable quotes along the way.

In this session, Heather will highlight how she and her team:

• tackle the needs of a truly global audience
• deliver content and services with relevance (functional, geographical, and more)
• help content owners make their resources easier for the people who need them to find and understand them in context
