Level up your intranet
Most intranets suck.
Yours doesn’t have to.
I’ll help you take your intranet to the next level
Intranet -> Digital Workplace -> Employee Experience
Businesses I work with are typically looking for help with any of the following:
- Implementing their very first intranet
- Launching a new intranet, replacing an old one
- Breathing new life into an existing intranet
Does that sound like something you’re dealing with?
Schedule some time with me, and we can explore whether we’re a fit to work together and how I can help.
Then let's talk!Hola, Simon here!
I’ve been using, building, fixing, buying, and selling intranets for going on 20 years.
I’ve spent the last decade as a consultant and strategist to organisations implementing modern intranet platforms and evolving their digital workplaces.
I provide the strategic guidance and best practice required to enable the successful implementation, launch, management, and growth of intranets into successful modern digital workplaces.
I have been translating between the languages of business and technology, bridging the gap between strategy and execution, with a focus on the value to be found at the intersection of people, process, and technology.
In that time I’ve experienced a fair amount!
From the energy of scale-ups to the [lack of] pace of global enterprises.
From the growing-pains of “Slack saturation”, to the considerations of re-architecting and platform migrations.
From the perils of top-down “command and control”, to the beauty of emergence.
From the clutches of synchronous meetings to the liberation of asynchronous collaboration.
And distributed work before hybrid was even a thing!
