How to succeed Lone spend a year convincing stakeholders that a redesign of the intranet front page would be great. The she managed to launch the new page just before many of them were reassigned, fired or left for other positions.

Stakeholders

I need more layouts to take a decision

What do you think?

I wanted a new intranet, not more

FTE’s

People should see my

banner, not collaborate,

I want Sharepoint (so I can go to Vegas)

When is go-live, it is in my personal

goals...

Let’s do what Gartner group says

I heard we’re getting a crap intranet

Think! Digital

Repeat KPI’s for the project

17

“Benefits of one common personalised

intranet”

“Employees should point each other in the direction of the intranet

for support”

“Quality of search results tracked and

improved”

“Naturally considered at the primary tool for

supporting key business processes, no need for

other systems”

“User driven development”

Think! Digital

Involve sceptics in tough decisions

18

“Why can’t “my” department get their own link in the menu”“We would really

like to be able to highlight stuff on the front page with a “banner”. Where can we put those?”

“I don’t know why we have to make space for the documents a person has used recently,we already have that feature and nobody uses it”

Involve sceptics in tough decisions

Think! Digital

Use design with care• Show bench marks

• Use the “obvious wrong” to try out new ideas

• Wireframe

20

Think! Digital

No design without context

21

“Medarbejderne har brug for et sted at hente guidelines og templates, det skal PMO levere” “Det er et succeskriterie at man kan finde folk, men vi ved ikke hvad AD kan levere” “Er det virkelig muligt at få ét fælles intranet til alle”

Think! Digital

Quantify your recommendation• Search stats - what terms are often used

• Popularity of features, especially the ones of interest or those that are similar to planned new initiatives

• Ask advice from peers in peer organizations
