Guidelines for budget sensitive companies
If you have more than 20 employees, you need an Intranet. Intranets are home to large amounts of information and are portals to key applications.
This 90 minute workshop is a fast paced review of Intranet best practices and covers guidelines for design, governance, usability, search, content, content management and training. We share how Intranets evolve over time and the features and improvements that mark each of the six stages of Intranet evolution. Screen shots from local and national Intranets are used to illustrate points.
The workshop is based on lessons learned from 10 years of building big budget corporate enterprise Intranets as well as low budget Intranets for non-profits. Our Intranet clients include Snap-on, Briggs and Stratton, ABB, AIG (before the bailout), City of Milwaukee and many other small, medium and large businesses. All together, Northwoods has over 400 web development and web design clients across the US.

-
Design elements and key characteristics of an effective Intranet
-
60 Intranet best practices

How to calculate an Intranet ROI (so you can sell ideas to management)
-
