Editor's Notes
- A familiar challenge Cluttered with information and tools Not just global – new tools have enabled us to work on the go, from home or the café – meaning we don’t always have a shoulder to tap if we can’t find something
- The mindset of product owners is changing. This maybe a wider trend because of the Software as a Service delivery model. It’s no longer all about building something bespoke just for your needs. In intranet terms we see this as a willingness to consider the out of the box functionality in SharePoint, much more than previously. This is obviously massively helped because SharePoint offers so much more ‘ready to go’ straight out of the box than previously. But it’s also driven by the commercial reality that you’re already investing in your Office 365 licenses – and so why wouldn’t you be looking at ways to get the most out of investment. 2) Secondly, we’ve seen a shift into the types of activities that we, as a supplier, typically undertake during an intranet project. As you can see from the charts, we’re doing considerably less development than in previous years and substantially more engagement. Our fastest growing part of the business is our Adoption and Change Management team and we see that the trend is for less development, and more change management.
