• 2 – 2.45 pm Improving internal communication on a shoestring budget: Can a SharePoint intranet help?
  • As a non-profit foundation, finding the budget (and time) to work on projects such as internal communication can be challenging. However, with 180 staff, based in 3 countries (with many working remotely in areas of limited connectivity), finding a way to maintain a sense of community and ensure everyone has the information they need to do their job, is critical. In this session, I will share some of the challenges, insights and lessons learned from our project to build a simple, low-budget internal communications platform using Microsoft Sharepoint.
  • Katie Bird, International Cocoa Initiative
