Methodology

The methodology and how it is followed is the most important factor for the success - or collapse - of every project. Our Project Managers use well-proven methodology standards such as PRINCE, LBMS, and others.

Intranet Pro-Business

Intranet projects are a specific project type, involving delivery of an efficiency-enhancing UTEO (Useful Tool for Everyone).

This is not an easy task, badly managed attempts to supply UTEO's often end up in UJOB's (Useless Junk for Nobody). See the TOY FACTORY anti-case study.

For this reason, we have developed a specialised evolutionary methodology for Intranet projects:

• Project risks are reduced and the whole process is more efficient, safer and cheaper
• The people and the company grow with the Intranet and the Intranet grows with them
• The company reacts to changes in its internal and external environment better

Apart from the evolutionary approach, a successful Intranet project methodology also needs the following 5 key attributes:

• Intranet Strategy
  (business goals, metrics, management, …)
• Design
  (appearance, ergonomics, information architecture, …)
• Content
  (sources of information, information policies, authors, approval process, integration with live data, enterprise content management,  …)
• Change Management and Communication Management
  (internal marketing, user motivation, training system, …)
• Technology
  (technology platform, solution architecture, component integration, …)
