What has been improved

Seven changes, and the reason for each one. Nothing here was invented: every sentence in the rebuild is built from something already published on their own site.

1

The page opens on a scene, not on a preamble

Today

400 words establishing that the world is changing, before anything is claimed.

Rebuilt

One Friday evening, a payroll that will not run, eleven thousand people at risk, and one decision everybody assumed somebody else had taken. A buyer who has lived that night cannot stop reading.

2

The President's sentence is now earned, and it is second

Today

“Technology is nothing on its own” sits at roughly 75% of the page, after 800 words.

Rebuilt

It is the turn of the page and it lands immediately after the scene, so it reads as a conclusion a reader reaches with him rather than a claim they are asked to accept.

3

The conviction carries a price

Today

A belief stated and then illustrated with vocabulary: symbiotic, unifying, #HumanTech.

Rebuilt

Three refusals with a cost attached: 650 salaried consultants and no day-rate bench, no vendor commission, and briefs they decline. A conviction a buyer can check is worth ten they must take on faith.

4

The invented category is gone

Today

“We proudly stand as the leading #HumanTech player.” A self-awarded rank in a category with no competitors, no search volume and no buyer asking for it.

Rebuilt

Removed entirely. It is replaced by what they refuse, which is the only kind of claim a competitor cannot copy the next morning.

5

The four practices became the four ways a programme breaks

Today

STRATEGY, HRIS, DATA and TECHNOLOGY as four links in the footer of the page, a menu.

Rebuilt

Four places a programme can give way, each with an accountable partner. Same four names, but now they are the reason to call rather than a list of departments, and they are the bridge from the firm to the person you will actually work with.

6

A person signs it

Today

The page is published by a company and closes on a hashtag. His name appears as a caption.

Rebuilt

Philippe Ferry signs it in the first person and takes the consequences: “If a programme we open does not hold, I am the one to tell.” A manifesto signed by someone is a different object from one issued by a brand.

7

It ends on a question and a working form

Today

Four practice links. Nothing to answer, nobody to reach, no next step.

Rebuilt

“What is your Friday evening?” Name, company, work email, deadline, three lines. It says what you get, what is asked of you, and that a partner will also tell you when Act-On is not the right firm. That last promise is what makes people fill it in.
