Description

The Web is about customer power. The customer is in control on the Web, not the organization. The customer searches, the customer clicks on that link (or not), the customer quickly scans your Web page. What will your customer do next? Click on one of your compelling links or hit the Back button? Your Intranet is about staff productivity. It’s about helping your staff complete common Tasks as easily and simply as possible. You are not managing content and applications on your Intranet. Instead, you are managing Tasks, and this Master Class will help you become a successful Task Manager. Whether you manage an Intranet, university, government or commercial Website—the principal of being customer/staff-centric and not organization-centric still applies. Practically all Websites start off as organization-centric. The better ones are making the shift and gaining the results. This Master Class will give you the tools and the arguments to show why a Customer-Centric approach is how you achieve the maximum return on investment for your Website and Intranet.
