As there is no workable version of our strategy, our proposition(s) and USP(s) and message(s) regarding a multitude of stakeholders. We now run the risk of missing out on potential interest. Something I have dreaded since the whole rebrand/website Initiative came our way. And even more, as we have an August deadline.

And spend all of today with GetInteractive to explain the plan and translate that more in detail for our various/different stakeholders. What would these each require and how is the site  to accommodate each of them? Is each specific stakeholder addressed and can he/she  find the relevant info and help? For each stakeholder a 'site visitor journey' is formulated. However, some questions still remain. GetInteractive wants to discuss these with us tomorrow in our scheduled meet.
