iSITE Update - Have You Been Heard?

For those who read the IS Newsletter, Insight Out, or are members of the iSITE Users' Group, this will be old news, but the iSITE Redesign Project is moving ahead on schedule.

"iSITE", for the uninitiated, is the CCHS intranet -- an internal website designed to promote information-sharing and collaboration among CCHS employees. The redesign project is intended to produce the "next generation" of the site, improving both the user-friendliness and usefulness of this tool.

The initial user research segment of the project, which included one-on-one interviews, an online survey, usability testing, and a card-sorting exercise, is drawing to a close, and our design consultants, Blue River Interactive Agency, are beginning to rework the site's information architecture, based on what we have learned from this research. More than 20 individuals, representing most CCHS divisions, were personally interviewed, and over 200 people participated in the online survey.

But if your were not contacted by the iSITE or were unable to participate in our research for any reason, and you would still like to contribute your ideas & opinions, don't worry: we still want to hear from you! If you're in a hurry, simply add your thoughts in a comment to this blog post. Please include your name and email address if you'd like a personal response (for additional comments or questions), but feel free to respond anonymously if you wish. If you'd like to provide more detailed feedback, send it in an email or contact me to set up a personal interview.
