Designing a Division-Wide Digital Workplace

The engagement began with an organizational question rather than a technology specification: "How should the division structure its digital spaces to support both communication and collaborative work?"

RocketCruzer helped clarify the distinction between SharePoint Communication Sites and Team Sites and how each could contribute to the larger digital workplace. The consulting work then translated those distinctions into a practical structure that could be implemented and maintained by the division.

The consulting work was translated into a functioning division-wide SharePoint environment. The resulting structure includes a published hub and a connected network of Communication Sites and Team Sites, providing distinct environments for organizational communication and collaborative work.

Staff were also provided with practical guidance for page building and site management, supporting the division's ability to maintain and extend the environment.

The engagement helped translate broad organizational needs into a practical digital workplace structure. By distinguishing communication environments from collaborative workspaces and connecting them through a division hub, the resulting environment provides a clearer foundation for information sharing, collaboration, governance, and future development.

The model also gives individual areas room to manage their own work while remaining connected to the broader division environment.
