No one starts a project with the intent of building an ugly intranet. We always have good intentions to build the best communication and collaboration portal the company has ever seen. We ensure that executives and end users are involved to design and implement from a portal based on their experience. What ends up happening? Portals are built with too many links to content or even stale content, images that take too long to load or are generic. You even had good intentions to leverage many features and perhaps some are even using it. What you typically find is that after the initial buzz of the launch, adoption fails. Why is that? If that sounds like what you recently went through, then attend this session to learn the strategies and implement them tomorrow. Learn the key principles in building innovative solutions that are simple but capture user’s attention and increase adoption.
