SharePoint Implementation · 11 September 2023
Modernising internal communication for a 4,500+ employee organisation across multiple business units.
Led the end-to-end design, development, and deployment of a modern SharePoint intranet across the Denholm Group. This project aimed to improve internal communication, drive engagement, and consolidate legacy systems into a cohesive digital workspace.
As part of Denholm Group’s modern workplace transformation, I led the rollout of a company-wide SharePoint Online intranet. The goal was to replace siloed, outdated intranet systems with a unified, user-friendly platform aligned with the organisation’s brand and communication needs.
Challenges & how I solved them
Migrating fragmented legacy content while maintaining permissions and metadata. Aligning design and functionality across business units with different needs. Ensuring governance, adoption, and content ownership were understood at all levels.
