Digital Evolution in
the Workplace
Traditional intranets have frequently
struggled to engage, regardless of the
technology. Most have failed.
We imagined a different approach, built
around users and processes, rather than just
News and Documents. So we built it…

Poor user adoption.
Passive information
& notification
strategy.
Browser-based.
Limited mobile
capability.
Doesn’t incorporate
everything; users
have to know many
places & tools.
Balance between
corporate comms
and compliance,
users needs and
department work
processes.
The traditional intranet has some
awkward shortcomings

The definition of the intranet is…
 Berkshire Healthcare NHS intranet
• Flat pages
• Try to make it user-centric, but is it?
• Microsoft 365 has entered the building, new
opportunities but also confusion
In the real world…

 Tailoring of information is absolutely correct
• But the flow of information etc. is bigger than
Comms. And often it’s the staff and managers who
know the detail and the nuance, not any central
function
• Danger of creating divisions between team
members
• Ownership & quality of metadata
In the real world…

 Dealing with information overload
• email-orientated approach; adopting different
channels for different purposes
• Starting with a different tool is a good way to
introduce change and better practices
• A tidy desk is a tidy mind…
In the real world…
