S2: Ep 12 | How Forvis Mazars managed a global rebrand through their SharePoint intranet with Andy Hall

Jarbas Horst and David Bowman from Fresh Intranet welcome Andy Hall, Knowledge Transformation Manager at Forvis Mazars, for a deep dive into managing SharePoint intranets through major organizational change. Andy shares his journey from the company's rebrand from RSM to joining the global Forvis network, including a complex tenant migration that affected 3,500 employees across multiple countries. Andy reveals how the Hive intranet became central to change management during the acquisition, supporting everything from document rebranding to employee communications. He discusses practical strategies including using SharePoint web parts for governance oversight, creating centralized FAQ pages with curated search, and implementing taxonomy tags to track rebranding progress across 250 content editors. The conversation covers the challenges of maintaining content quality during rapid organizational change and how proper governance creates a foundation for AI implementation. Andy's experience demonstrates how SharePoint intranets can effectively support organizations through acquisitions, rebrands, and complex migrations when backed by solid governance frameworks.
