What is the Intranet Launch Accelerator?

It’s a bundle of resources and consulting support designed to help you successfully launch your SharePoint intranet or digital workplace — covering strategy, governance, comms and operations.

Who should use this service?

Teams launching a new intranet — especially those lacking time, resource, or experience — who want to avoid mistakes and launch with confidence.

What do I get as part of the Launch Accelerator?

You get a structured online resource with templates, guidance, governance controls and a timeline, plus direct support from Spark consultants via workshops and stand-ups.

Is the Launch Accelerator only for SharePoint?

No — it's platform-agnostic and applies to any intranet or digital workplace launch, though SharePoint is fully supported.

How is the service delivered?

Everything is delivered remotely via a collaborative environment or using your preferred tools, supported by regular check-ins.

Intranet Launch Accelerator

Launch your new intranet with confidence: There is always more that you can do on an intranet project. Very often things get forgotten and corners are cut, threatening your investment and all your good efforts.

We've put together a bundle of resources that we use to help you get over the line. It details everything you need to prepare for the launch such as governance, communications, training as well as operational tasks, roles and skills for business as usual. It's people that are going to make your intranet a success, not technology, and you need to help them get prepared.

We get it

Intranets can be headache: Whether you've got a new whizzy platform, or you're rolling your own, intranet projects are complex. Even with people helping with the technology, there is still content strategy, governance, training and operational processes to develop. And let us guess? This isn't even your day job. How do ensure you get it right first time when there's not enough time?

This is what we do

We've worked on dozens of intranet projects. We've seen the same mistakes made again and again. Building on our innovative Intranet Governance Accelerator we wanted to distill the collective wisdom of the intranet industry into a platform to act as a guide. The Intranet Launch Accelerator allows us to work together and to support you as you reach maturity.

How it works

The Launch Accelerator guides you in two ways.

Firstly, we provide an online resource full of assets: guidance, templates, copy for communications, governance controls, role documents, project tasks and regular duties - all wrapped up in a timeline advising you on what you should do when.

Secondly, you get us! We can work on all of the things that you haven't got time to do, making sure that you not only hit launch day, but that things don't fall apart afterwards.

We will start by scoping it to your needs with a series of workshops to understand where you are in your project and who is already involved. Then we'll agree the project tasks and deliverables and arrange a regular stand-up meeting to check on progress.

Once our engagement has concluded, we will leave you with read-only access to the online resource so that you can refer to it as required.

Just get in contact and we can give you a demonstration of the accelerator and show you how it works. If you'd like to go ahead we'll issue you with a statement of work and we can start as soon as we've got a signature.
