Dig for Victory WWII Poster

"Keep on diggin'
Till we give our foes a Wiggin'
Dig! Dig! Dig! to Victory" (WWII Anthem)

One month on from the outbreak of the Second World War, the UK Ministry of Agriculture launched one of the most memorable slogans of the whole conflict: 'Dig for Victory'.

The entire population were encouraged to make their contribution to the war effort by growing their own food.

 

This in turn freed up valuable space for war materials on the merchant shipping convoys. By 1943, over a million tons of vegetables were being grown in gardens and allotments.

The Intranet Portal Project

An intranet portal project may well be the first and last project in your organisation that truly touches everyone, from the office of your CEO to the newest recruit.

Whilst humble in itself, your intranet site has the power and potential to transform your organisation and make a significant contribution to your war effort.

You will need wide and popular support, with the whole organisation mobilised, to realise your dreams. Be inspired, be resilient and Dig for Victory!
 

The Intranet Portal Guide

Following my experiences at Centrica and British Airways, initiating & steering major intranet projects, I have put together this guide. It is full of information, downloads and advice, structured into three phases: Before, during and after the project.

I believe passionately that a world class intranet portal can become the engine of your organisation and may well be the most significant investment that you ever make in your people, their processes and their systems.
 

The battle scars

Do not underestimate the difficulties! An intranet portal project brings great exposure to it's participants.

 

All your customers will be only a small march away down the corridor and will all know where you live!

 

You will meet with great obstacles along the way and hardships. I only hope that, in some small way, you can learn from some of my mistakes (see links below) and use this guide to complete your "hero's journey".
