This document summarizes Andy McBride's presentation on creating a digital workplace at Queensland University of Technology. It discusses consolidating over 20 intranets into a single digital workplace with global and local content. It also covers implementing an enterprise-wide search, application directory, customizable launch pad, and simple feedback mechanism. The goals were to reduce duplication, provide a single source of truth, and make tools more useable and relevant for staff.
