All rise. IN THE MATTER OF: YOUR ORGANISATION LTD, v. ITSELF THE CHARGE: That the Intranet has made Enterprise Content Management redundant. Or, in the alternative, that ECM has rendered the Intranet an expensive relic nobody needs anymore. PRESIDING: You. Every business owner and CIO who’s ever sat through a vendor pitch and walked away […]
Over the last two pieces, we asked whether the intranet is dead (it isn’t, the lazy version of it is) and traced how it evolved from a static filing cabinet into an employee-driven digital workspace, owned jointly by IT, Comms & Brand, HR, and every department. This piece is the practical next step: if you’re […]
In our last piece, we asked whether the intranet is dead. Our answer: the old version deserved to die, but the problem it was built to solve; information chaos, lost knowledge, wasted hours, is worse than ever. So what replaces it? To answer that, it helps to see how we got here. Most organisations are […]
Ask most employees what they think of their company intranet and you’ll get a shrug, or worse a laugh. It’s the place with last year’s Christmas party photos still on the homepage. Nobody logs in unless HR makes them. It’s treated like a graveyard, not a workplace. So it’s a fair question: is the intranet […]
A practical sequence for moving off Project Online without rebuilding your PMO from scratch or discovering the gaps after go-live. Most Project Online migrations fail the same way: they treat it as a data-export exercise. Move the schedules, close the ticket, deal with the governance layer “later.” Later usually means after someone’s already imported the […]
A simple framework for understanding what actually breaks when you move off Project Online – and why it isn’t a Planner Premium problem. Talk to enough PMOs going through this migration and a pattern emerges. It’s not random which features go missing. It’s structural – and once you see it, planning the migration gets a […]
A side-by-side look at what’s kept, what’s lost, and what can be restored, for PMOs deciding what to do before 30 September 2026. Every organisation moving off Project Online eventually asks the same question: what, exactly, are we going to be missing? Here’s the honest answer, capability by capability. Capability Project Online (retiring) Planner Premium […]
The pattern is remarkably consistent across organisations that have moved off Project Online. Here’s what tends to surface, usually about three weeks in. Migrating off Project Online to Planner Premium isn’t hard to start. IT recommends it because it’s already included in the Microsoft 365 licence. The PMO director assumes it’ll be straightforward, it’s Microsoft’s […]
A plain-English breakdown of the shutdown, the dates that matter, and what to do before your data disappears. If your organisation still runs Project Online (PWA), you’ve probably seen the retirement notice. What’s less clear is what actually breaks, and when. The dates that matter 1 October 2025 – Sales stopped. No new Project Online […]
There are three things I enjoy buying—some more often than others: Cars Gadgets Sneakers They’re all different; different price tags, different lifespans and different priorities. I don’t buy a car as often as I buy sneakers, and I don’t buy sneakers as often as I buy gadgets. Some purchases are planned. Others are triggered by […]
