Over time, intranets can become beastly things. Yes, the very intranet that was supposed to provide a great one-stop-shop for all information has now become a confusing jumble of pages that lack findability, ownership, and currency.

Worse yet: no-one seems quite sure what the intranet is even meant to be doing! Oh dear, now what?

James Robertson will show you the two fundamental questions you’ll need to answer before untangling your unruly intranets. Plus, by seeing loads of successful intranets from around the world, you'll get solid implementation ideas to help your organization get back on-track, fast.

Why James Robertson?

James Robertson

Despite the ubiquity of intranets, there are surprisingly few folks who can speak about them with true authority. So we’ve had to travel (virtually) as far as Australia to bag ourselves a bona-fide intranet guru.

As the Managing Director of Step Two Designs in Sydney, James helps enterprise companies create awesome intranets. In fact, he even runs a global competition on the topic -- the Intranet Innovation Awards -- which showcases the leading intranet thinking worldwide.

And because we know you’ll want more of James beyond this seminar, be sure to check out his books, What Every Intranet Team Should Know and Designing Intranets: Creating Sites that Work, or follow him on Twitter @s2d_jamesr. .
