“Our intranet really does stand up against anyone else’s and that’s been proven through our DWG Benchmark ranking and external endorsement – we attended a DWG Member Meeting and people wanted to know what we’d done so that they could do the same.”
- Jon Simons, Nationwide
Within the space of three years, Nationwide climbed from near the bottom of Digital Workplace Group’s benchmarking tables to almost top. In this episode, Paul Miller talks to Jon Simons, Digital Channels Senior Manager at Nationwide, about how the team achieved such a radical result.
