BBC Gateway homepage - 10 May 2011
There were a number of business reasons why we decided to redesign the BBC’s intranet homepage and start work on sorting out the rest of the intranet;
- Increase efficiency
- Promote simplicity
- Encourage collaboration
- Make it easier to do stuff
and move on from the previous homepage that had been knocking around in a couple of incarnations for the past six or so years.
Our strategy focussed on five broad areas;
- Pan-BBC governance
- Editorial leadership
- Technical development
- Content production
- Systems and tools
And we’ve not only redesigned the homepage, we’ve started work on the top level landing pages, and soon we’ll start on the rest, including on-line applications.
This is a big gig and shouldn’t be underestimated as to it’s complexity. Not easy, but is anything that’s worth doing ?
