Before we begin, it&#8217;s important to establish a clear understanding of what we mean by this. Are we talking about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A new website?<\/li><li><em>The<\/em> website?<\/li><li><em>All<\/em> of EMBL&#8217;s websites?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We are thinking of this work as 3 distinct projects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>EMBL&#8217;s main website (embl.org)<\/li><li>An intranet for EMBL<\/li><li>A website focussing on the scientific services that EMBL offers<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Does this split make sense to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How we plan to work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We, in Strategy and Communications, have a clear interest in these projects. But we&#8217;re aware that that is true of everyone at EMBL, and many people beyond. So it&#8217;s important that we work with the entire EMBL community and the users of these websites. Here are some principles by which we want to work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>These projects should be consultative and collaborative<\/li><li>We should work on the basis of evidence (and not from, say, opinions or hunches)<\/li><li>We will work on these projects over the long term (we&#8217;re not going to &#8216;roll out&#8217; or &#8216;launch&#8217; and be done)<\/li><li>We need to work iteratively, making improvements as we go<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get involved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first principle is that we should be consultative and collaborative. So that means listening to you, giving you a chance to give input and feedback and learning from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the purposes of this blog is to make sure that we&#8217;re clear, open and transparent. Please keep checking here, and do please add comments on this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will also be plenty of more opportunities to get involved as we go along. We&#8217;ll be opening online surveys, conducting interviews, asking people to test stuff. You&#8217;ll find information about this popping up in various places, but also here on this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some big things we need to put in place before we get going, including a governance structure that will allow us to navigate difficult decisions, agree on priorities and principles as an organisation. But we feel it&#8217;s important to get going as we do this, and so we&#8217;ll shortly be announcing the first research &#8216;sprint&#8217; for the intranet project.
