Instead of a static, pre-selected working group to lead the process, Bibliotheek Rivierenland opted for a project team formed by spontaneous applications. And that turned out to work well. Employees were quite self-managing as a result, and thanks to the different backgrounds, input was also much more diverse.
The project members agreed easily on the design and content. The testing phase proved to be important. The project group was given two months to try out the platform. This made them feel extra responsible for the content. Also, project members automatically came into a natural ambassador role. And even better: After the official launch, this meant that other employees did not encounter an empty platform. Instead, a platform emerged filled with fun posts, interesting channels and up-to-date information.
On the Bibliotheek Rivierenland platform, everyone is equal: volunteers and staff. Because of this accessible approach, valuable information channels quickly emerged. The average working day of an employee, for example. Or the group: "Biebjes and bapjes," a channel in which employees can share all kinds of fun (informal) things with each other.
And many new things have already emerged from this: writing talent that has suddenly become visible (in addition to reading, there is also a lot of writing!), musical expressions (a real intranet song and library choir) and new visual material such as, for example, the photo strips on health and safety issues.
We are of course eagerly awaiting the bundled intranet columns of Bibliotheek Rivierenland!
