Intranet design
2011

A company gave an assignment to all of the project groups in my class, which was to design a new intranet for them and in the end they would choose their favourite. So for the first time we had to compete with other project groups. We did research on intranets (trends and developments) and puzzled with the pieces they gave us, meaning what they want to have on their intranet. It wasn’t without sacrifice, we had to figure out which was useful to them and which wasn’t. We came up with an intranet design which was influenced by social media (employees could tweet to each other) and made its focus on sharing knowledge with each other. The company picked us as their favourite intranet design.

Social Media workshop
2011

The librarians of my university were sent to attend a social media workshop given by our project group. We've introduced them to the subject of social media, blogging, FlickR, RSS, Twitter and Aquabrowser. We let them play with a couple of them and explained how the library could make use of them. In the end we’ve discussed the role of the library in the future which was very interesting and the librarians were very happy they attended.

Knowledge Management
2010

Four organizations, each with their own specific expertise, wanted to share knowledge with each other. The challenge was to find out what they exactly know, what they want to know from each other and what they're willing to share. Together with my four classmates, we've interviewed the managers and did research on how they could share their knowledge effectively with each other. We've written a report where we offered our advice to the person who gave us the assignment and led this project. He was very happy with the report and used it afterwards.
