Overview
Led platform migration and redevelopment of a global corporate intranet to SharePoint Online for a major coatings company, improving internal communications and knowledge-sharing across 80+ countries. Delivered content strategy, information architecture restructured around employee needs, change management programme to drive adoption, and governance frameworks sustaining quality across a globally distributed editorial team.
Who This Is For
Global manufacturing or industrial organisations with 5,000-100,000+ employees operating across 50+ countries. Migrating a global corporate intranet to SharePoint Online and needing to improve internal communications and knowledge-sharing across a highly distributed, multilingual workforce.
The Challenge
The organisation operates a global intranet that was built without a coherent strategy. Content is duplicated across regions, navigation is inconsistent, and the platform is not serving the needs of a globally distributed workforce. Internal communications are fragmented. Knowledge that should be shared across the organisation is siloed by geography or business unit. A migration to SharePoint Online is planned but the content and governance challenges are as complex as the technical ones.
What We Propose
Content Strategy & Audit - Inventory and rationalisation of existing intranet content across all regions and business units defining what to migrate, consolidate, or retire. Information Architecture - Global navigation and content structure designed for employee needs across functions, geographies, and languages. SharePoint Migration Planning - Phased migration approach covering content preparation, metadata alignment, and governance for 80+ country operations. Change Management - Communications, training, and adoption programme to drive engagement with the new platform across a globally distributed workforce. Content Governance - Editorial ownership model, publishing standards, and lifecycle management for sustained quality at global scale.
Why It Matters
Global reach, local relevance - A platform that serves employees consistently across 80+ countries without losing local context. Knowledge sharing - Internal expertise and operational knowledge made accessible across the organisation. Microsoft 365 ROI - Unlocking the value of existing investment through a properly governed SharePoint environment.
