Case Study: Ofsted boosts engagement with a bespoke intranet from Node4

Ofsted boosts intranet engagement with Node4, reaching 350 Wonderwall submissions in 3 months

Ofsted, a UK government department responsible for inspecting education and care services, faced a challenge in boosting internal engagement among its 2,000 employees. They commissioned Node4 to build a bespoke intranet solution, moving away from an out-of-the-box option to better meet their specific needs.

Node4 implemented a significant upgrade to Ofsted's Microsoft SharePoint intranet and built a "wonderwall" feature, an interactive social media-style platform for employee recognition. The results were highly positive, with nearly 150 praise submissions in the first month and over 350 within three months. Node4's solution led to a great increase in regular intranet usage, improved collaboration between remote and office-based colleagues, and made Ofsted's internal team more self-sufficient.
