Joining the discussions
by James Robertson
I’ve been very busy over the Christmas period, so I’m only just joining the discussions now. Following the lead of others, here’s my introduction:
I’ve been working in this space for over a decade now. Based in Sydney, Australia, I’m the managing director and owner of Step Two Designs, providers of vendor-neutral advice on intranets, content management, usability, information architecture and search.
I regularly publish entries to my blog Column Two, which is intended to help people (including me) to keep up-to-date on what’s happening across the various industries that I’m involved in.
At the last IA Summit in Vancouver, I was called the “intranet guy”. Having published almost a hundred articles on intranets (and more than 150 articles in total), it should be obvious that I like writing!
I’m also the author of the Intranet Roadmap, Improving Intranet Search and Staff Directories reports, with another report on intranet strategy to be released in the coming month.
Travelling the globe and working with a wide variety of organisations, I’ve seen a lot of what works, and what doesn’t work. At present, my focus is on finding practical methodologies that will help organisations to gain adoption (more on this in my next post).
Anyway, I’m honoured to be in amongst many of the bloggers that I respect the most in this field…
