Integrating any new software into your organization can be daunting at the best of times. There can be a lot to learn, with little to no guidance provided. At Intranet Connections, we are proud to offer a more hands on approach for onboarding intranet software into your organizations day-to-day.
Guided by our expert Customer Success team, you can expect a smooth and focused onboarding period resulting in a thriving, communal intranet that everyone at your organization can benefit from.
So, what does this onboarding actually look like? Five simple steps!
Start with planning/assessing
It is important for our team to understand why your organization needs an intranet and what you hope to gain from using it. There are endless use cases for an intranet, from document management to social engagement. Whatever your specific set of goals are, we’ll be happy to assist in creating a tailored plan/training schedule to meet those specific needs.
Defining roles and responsibilities is crucial
Managing an effective intranet on an ongoing basis takes more than one person. Having a network of up-skilled site owners (intranet champions) that are responsible for their own areas and empowered to make improvements is the best way forward, beyond onboarding your intranet software. This will ensure your content remains up to date, and the site meets the evolving needs of your organization for years to come.
Seeking user input before onboarding intranet software
You are building a system to help your employees perform their roles. The best way to ensure that it does this is by asking them what they need. At times, gathering insights can be a painful task. Here at IC, we try to make every step of this process as smooth as possible, and here is no different. A card sorting exercise is an excellent way to gather the information needed. What is it employees need to better perform their duties, and how can we leverage the intranet to help them carry out these tasks?
