The Brief

Create a new intranet for the Product Development Directorate, following a recent and significant restructure. The site should:

• Allow staff to see the new structure and what teams their colleagues are now in.
• Allow staff to update their own details, eg photo, extension, email etc.
• Allow the Directors to “tweet” and for staff to see “tweets” regularly.
• Allow the management to provide the Directorate with communication updates.

The Solution

A web 2.0 social networking site, featuring a fast and intuitive user interface allowing directors to tweet, staff to blog, to ‘like’ and comment on each others’ blogs and interact with each other in new ways in a professional environment. It also features an animated, interactive, data-driven organisational chart for 200 staff.
