Hi Folks,
I spoke to a few of you during the Institutional Web Managers Workshop
last week in Manchester on the topic of resourcing a webteam and its
focus and I have a few questions for the wider community. As always the
workshop was a very interesting and useful few days.
I am keen to get a feeling of the level of resource devoted to
institutional web teams and also just as importantly where they are
situated and their focus. We are looking to consolidate and strengthen
our approach and I'm interested to get a feeling what other institutions
are doing before putting proposals forward here. Our team is based in
our Public Affairs department and although focused outwards from a
marketing communications perspective, has now a remit to look at the
internal aspects of this portfolio as well. It is comprised of four
people, myself as technical manager, a business manager, and two
developers. One area we are immediately looking to strength is in a web
editor/production role.
I have noticed a shift in the last year or two for institutional web
teams to be situation or be lead from the marketing communications area.
So, a few questions.
1) how many people make up the corporate webteam?
2) what is their role and focus? (ie internal/external etc)
3) what department/unit are they based in?
4) what other groups (other than the corporate webteam) have
responsibility for developing web services?
I'll summarise a response of comments and structures people are happy to
make public.
Thanks,
Gareth
