The website, our top marketing driver of business.
The keyrus.com redesign is not a cosmetic project: it's the marketing asset that generates the most pipeline. Every call in this plan serves three optimizations: UX (conversion), SEO (organic traffic) and GEO (visibility in generative AI answers, where the structured HOM narrative becomes a direct advantage).
Architecture, templates and most of the content are already produced
This is the single most important fact in this plan. Jesse and Chanti have produced the menu architecture, the page templates and the bulk of the content; the Keyrus AI manifesto copy has been live on the dev instance since 6 July (43 entries, 508 fields, 7 languages). The 18 September gate is therefore a validation, not a production phase, which is what makes the December release reachable.
| Surface | What exists today |
|---|---|
| Menu architecture | Services mega-menu grouping Services, Capabilities, Business Functions and Industries; Resources under Insights; “Keyplays” renamed Use Cases |
| Page templates | One concept per page type, produced across the structure |
| Homepage | newHomepage published, manifesto copy in place |
| Services / Offers | 5 topServices and the new offer format |
| Industries | Insurance pilot, complete and rich: approach, 6-step methodology, use cases, insights |
| About Us | Manifesto copy live in 7 languages |
| Content | 1,087 existing content items audited and mapped to the HOM layers |
Dev instance: keyrus-redesign.netlify.app, connected to the
development-3
Contentful environment. Remaining housekeeping on the instance (placeholder entries, duplicated key plays, the services title to reposition) is tracked outside this plan.
7 decisions still open, 4 already settled
Choices and comments are saved live in this browser, and the summary copies in one click for the write-up. Recommendations are proposals from the project team.
Group-level decisions
Eric & KarenThese two outlive the redesign. They are brand and governance calls at group level, not website structure calls, and they change what the site has to support before templates are rolled out across every page.
Website decisions
Stephan & ChristopheStructure and content calls inside the project. Four of them have been settled by the work already done since July and are kept here for the record rather than reopened.
From validation on 18 September to release on 3 December
Proposed sequence, to be adjusted and signed off. Validation steps, then development, then the full delivery track: alpha, UAT, a beta phase with its own UAT layer, and a production rollout. Development is 15 working days, Monday 21 September to Friday 9 October. Scroll the chart horizontally on narrow screens.
Exec validation cadence
Run by Stephan and Christophe, roughly every two weeks. The Shift workshop in Paris is the one in-person gate, with all Shift leaders.
Validation process, in order
Click a step for its owner and validation loop.
Four people join the setup in September
On group marketing, on the content that is not industry specific, and on customer references. Industry experts are mobilised per industry once the template is validated.
Joining
Joins at group level; remit communicated shortly. Global versus local and the satellite sites are both group marketing calls.
Own the content that is not industry specific: the portfolio and the HOM, which is the global layer of decision D10.
Customer success stories and references: the proof layer the positioning is missing.
One pairing per industry, mobilised once the industry template and wave 1 are confirmed (D3, D4).
In place
Validate at each gate, run the exec cadence, and carry the decisions to Eric Cohen and Marc Stukkens.
Drives the plan and the Contentful instance, follows the development track and challenges the technical choices.
Menu architecture, page templates, content matrices, and the audit of the 1,087 content items mapped to HOM.
Design of the new surfaces, image direction, mockups, produced alongside the page structure rather than after it.
Build on the instance, test pass and production cutover.
Briefed during the build, then the final go/no-go on 2 December before general release.
HOM becomes the backbone of the site
The corporate presentation V1 (June 2026) sets the narrative: Architect of intelligence, carried by the Human Orchestrated Model™. The site must reflect this architecture: HOM's 3 layers, the portfolio of 4 capabilities, and the taglines sprinkled across all pages. It's also the GEO lever: a proprietary, structured narrative is exactly what AI engines reproduce best.
The 3 layers of the Human Orchestrated Model™
Continuously steer decisions and execution toward measurable business impact. Proof: 12 % less spend on operations for a video giant.
Who decides, who governs, who's accountable: clear human oversight and pragmatic governance. Proof: 100 % ROI on a European bank's first GenAI programs, 20+ use cases.
Structure, activate and govern data and agents: the foundation for deploying AI at scale. Proof: $5M+ saved per harvest at an agribusiness producer.
Portfolio: 4 composable capabilities
The narrative's taglines, to highlight and sprinkle across the whole site (hero, sections, CTAs, offer pages).
Open thinking: making HOM demonstrable
The concern raised by the exec team: the positioning is a little too intellectual. HOM and “architect of intelligence” land at manifesto level, and the business directions need real examples to see themselves in it. Not decided, and not blocking the build.
Start with Finance: translate concrete pains into HOM solutions with measurable outcomes. A website module and a sales asset at once.
They win on concreteness and a clear pain-to-solution story. Borrow that rather than stay at concept level.
An AI operating system inside HOM: deploy and orchestrate agents with the human in command. Gives the abstract idea a demonstrable anchor.
L2 is the differentiator and the hardest to show. The audit below flags thin proof on agentic use cases and AI governance.
1,087 existing pieces of content, already mapped to HOM
The full portfolio audit (Jesse, June 2026): 553 blog insights, 434 key plays, 100 EPM pages. The 677 thematic content pieces spread across HOM's 3 layers in a balanced way (39 / 30 / 31 %): HOM isn't a narrative to fill in, it's a grid that structures editorial capital that's already there. The remaining 410 (136 industries, 85 events, 69 corporate, 19 client cases, 101 out of scope) cross-tag to a pillar or fall outside scope.
Mix by HOM layer 677 thematic content items
The blind spots the grid reveals To fill
- Semantic enablement & knowledge graphs : an official HOM capability, zero content. The portfolio's clearest white space.
- Agentic & autonomous AI : 30 insights but 4 key plays. We talk about it without proving it: critical for an "Architect of intelligence" positioning.
- AI governance, ethics & responsible AI : 8 pieces of content, no key play. The corporate portfolio's Trust & Governance pillar with no client proof.
- Planning, FP&A & predictive models : 38 key plays but 5 insights. The reverse: proof without thought leadership, an EPM lane to activate.
| Layer | Sub-theme | Insights | Key plays | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | Data platforms & cloud architecture | 83 | 57 | 140 |
| L1 | Governance, trust & responsible data | 56 | 17 | 75 |
| L1 | Data products, monetisation & DataOps | 21 | 9 | 30 |
| L1 | Cybersecurity & resilience | 11 | 5 | 17 |
| L1 | Semantic enablement & knowledge graphs White space | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| L2 | AI strategy, value & adoption | 59 | 28 | 89 |
| L2 | Generative AI, ML & LLM platforms | 24 | 11 | 37 |
| L2 | Talent, skills, AI literacy & change | 17 | 16 | 36 |
| L2 | Agentic & autonomous AI | 30 | 4 | 34 |
| L2 | AI governance, ethics & responsible AI | 8 | 0 | 8 |
| L3 | Analytics, BI & dashboards | 33 | 44 | 79 |
| L3 | Planning, FP&A & predictive models | 5 | 38 | 63 |
| L3 | Performance, profitability & EPM | 10 | 33 | 46 |
| L3 | Decision intelligence & insight-to-action | 12 | 10 | 23 |
This mapping changes the approach: HOM isn't landing on an empty site. Every surface (HOM, portfolio, industries, insights) can be linked from V1 to existing content tagged by layer, and the editorial calendar can be driven by the grid's gaps rather than ad hoc. That's decision D9.
Who produces what, with which dependencies
The critical path runs through the 18 September validation: it releases development and the remaining content production. Most workstreams are already well advanced, so what follows is mostly finalisation and sign-off rather than production from scratch.
