Internet, Intranet and Extranet Strategy
Too frequently, large and small organizations do not take the time to properly plan their internet, intranet or extranet website, thus resulting in the project that goes over budget or is completed months behind schedule. The most successful projects are the ones that first take a step back and determine the standards and constraints that define the project. Clearly seeing stakeholder needs, potential issues or technology constrains can cut significant time from development and provide focus for your stakeholders.

Typically, a web strategy engagement includes the following activities:
- Reviewing current standards and processes, such as content management and approval processes, to discover the current state of affairs.
- Heuristic analysis of existing properties according to usability guidelines and design principles, considering functionality, labeling and organization, navigation and look-and-feel.
- Current content evaluation and inventory, to determine the effectiveness of your current content and to identify gaps.
- Key stakeholders identification, through one-on-one interviews or large scale surveys, in order to determine your stakeholders’ desired future states.
- Comparative & competitive analysis to review your organization’s landscape and to provide ideas for improvement and expansion.
- Needs identification, based on stakeholder feedback and expert opinion, on standards, processes and technologies for an effective website, intranet or extranet property.
- Change management strategies, in order to provide best practices to avoid potential pitfalls in the future state of the website, intranet or extranet property, or to minimize the potential impact of change.
- Proof of concept design and development, to develop visual models that confirm the legitimacy and feasibility of the adoption of the suggested standards and recommendations, through appearance, content, interaction and management.
