Key skills such as card sorting will be taught, and this workshop is designed to build in-house information architecture skills. A must for all web or intranet teams. IA provides a rich toolbox of techniques and frameworks to ensure that websites and intranets are structured in a way that makes sense to users. At the end of the day you will be ready to tackle the information architecture, navigation and page layouts for a small to medium site or part of a larger site. *Who is this workshop for?* When redesigning (or designing) a website or intranet, it is critical that users be able to easily find what they want on the new site. This does not happen by chance. Best practice information architecture techniques should be followed to ensure that the desired project outcomes are actually achieved. IA should therefore be core knowledge for all web and intranet teams. This workshop provides the foundation for building these skills in-house within organisations. It also provides the knowledge required to better manage consultants or contractors who have been engaged to conduct this work on the site. Please note, this is a introductory workshop designed to build core skills, and is not suitable for intermediate or experienced practitioners. *See website for prices and registration details* 403 Australia One day workshop presented by Step Two Designs.

While they have grown greatly over the last ten years, many sites are still struggling to gain the resources they need. To be effective, intranets need to innovate, to find new ways of meeting organisational needs. Intranets must become valuable business tools that deliver tangible and visible benefits for the organisations they serve. There must also be a balance between the four fundamental purposes of corporate intranets: • content • communication • collaboration • activity This workshop provides practical approaches for managing and growing intranets. Drawing on the experiences gained across many different organisations, hands-on techniques will be provided, along with many ideas and approaches. Central to the workshop is the new ‘6x2 methodology', which offers a rigorous framework for intranet planning. This unique approach focuses on carefully scoping the next six months of work, to ensure that what is planned is not just achievable, but is also worth doing. Taking this step-by-step approaches provides a strong basis for positioning the intranet as a ‘business tool', one that delivers tangible and visible benefits to both staff and the organisation as a whole. Examples will also be used from the winning entries of the global Intranet Innovation Awards, held in 2007 and 2008.
