About my talk

Rethinking the intranet project. At CBA rather than a traditional intranet upgrade we have thrown out the concept of an intranet. In its place CBA has built an employee experience and engagement platform for 40k employees.

It is available across PC, tablet and mobile. In its concept, design and delivery CBA has brought the best of outside in and created a new user experience that reflects consumer grade thinking and user design.

Creativity in thinking, project design, collaboration and delivery have been central to the project’s success.
