SharePoint intranets

Intranets play a crucial role in an organisation’s information landscape.

When designed to be more than just a file repository, intranets can foster social connections, engage employees and deliver numerous benefits, including increased productivity.

 

Assessments and strategies

Sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. We offer a framework to assess the effectiveness of existing intranets so our clients understand and are empowered to make effective change.

By engaging with users and stakeholders and applying our wide-ranging experience, we develop findings and recommendations, strategies and roadmaps that provide guidance on enhancing a current intranet or building a new one.

Branding and visual identity

While the opportunities to ‘brand’ modern SharePoint are limited, we have many techniques to thread branding and visual identity into an intranet to help bring a brand to life.

Content

An intranet’s value lies in its content. As the official repository of ‘published’ information, an intranet must be reliable and trustworthy, featuring useful and relevant content.

We assist our clients with content design and collaborate with subject matter experts to deliver high-quality content, including:

  • content planning
  • content standards and guidelines
  • design and managing the content development and approval process
  • training and coaching.

Communications and culture

We help our clients identify how their intranets can drive or support their communications and culture, including the role of other Microsoft 365 tools, such as Viva Connections and Engage.
