Intranets are no longer just an online destination for company news. Employees are looking to them as sources for peer to peer connection and collaboration. These dramatic changes in user needs, expectations, and the demand for user-generated content mean that organizations are revisiting their aging intranets and portals to ensure that they support today's global business needs, best practices and the evolution of the intranet itself.

Melcrum is pleased to now offer an intensive training course on redesigning or upgrading your intranet. Attend this Forum to discover how to turn your organization's intranet into the engaging, interactive value-creating communication and productivity tool it was always meant to be. Our trainer, Michael Rudnick, Global Practice Leader, Intranets and Portals, Watson Wyatt Worldwide, will show you how to upgrade your intranet by integrating the latest designs, strategies, technologies (including Microsoft SharePoint 2007) and metrics, ensuring that your employees can find, create and use the right information when and where they need it.  

Forge ahead with your intranet makeover by learning how to:

  • Create a global upgrade strategy
  • Develop an effective business case
  • Design an engaging "consumer-grade" user interface
  • Determine and deploy the right social media tools
  • Use innovative techniques to drive engagement
  • Create an effective navigation and information architecture

  • Deploy new technologies, including Microsoft SharePoint 2007
  • Use customization and personalization
