OFF WHATSAPP AND ON THE INTRANET

The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area (MRA) is the partnership of the provinces of North Holland and Flevoland, 30 municipalities and the Amsterdam Transport Region. For the MRA this means that colleagues aren’t always in the same building, and a lot of communication took place via WhatsApp groups. As a result, information and personal connections were often fragmented.

Despite the physical distance, the MRA wanted to increase and strengthen the connection between colleagues through an intranet. Here, personal connections can be made, jokes shared, and discussions can be held.

The intranet is designed for work-related topics such as an environment where meeting reports can be shared, an overview of the most important meetings and the ability to suggest topics for them. In addition, the intranet creates personal connection through polls, the photo of the week and birthdays.

We chose to work with feedback rounds in real life. This way we were able to gather feedback quickly, discuss possible options right away and make decisions. As a result, an intranet was up and running within a few months.
