The Intelligent Workspace - Discovery in a Day
The discovery process is integral in helping to answer these questions but it is often very under-valued. The discovery phase helps you to answer:
What – what is being created and what will it achieve?
Who – who is it being created for?
Why – why we are creating it
How – how we are going to create it and how much will it cost?
When – when we will deliver it
Join us on 13th June 2019 to discover the Discovery Phase - in a day.
This interactive workshop has been put together to help you answer these questions and gain a deep understanding of the process involved in developing a successful intranet.
Our Lead User Experience Consultant has award-winning experience helping global and local organisations define their digital intelligent workspace. He has designed the agenda for the day to fully immerse you in the types of activities that will help you define your own intranet journey.
You’ll work in a small group to form a fictional business and go through a series of workshops where you’ll truly understand the users, stakeholders and their perspectives and identify business goals for your intranet.
By the end of the day you’ll be equipped with the knowledge of what internal resources you’ll need to gather when developing your own collaboration infrastructure and the return on investment you can expect from delivering a platform that works.
