What is the WORST idea for an intranet you ever heard?

By ⋅ July 8, 2011 ⋅ 10 comments

Imagine: you’ve been waiting for months to pitch a new, streamlined intranet design to a business leader. You finally sit down to talk and your heart sinks as they start to outline how scrolling marquees are going to revolutionise their business function. What if you could point to an example which explains why perhaps their [...]

How does an intranet support knowledge management?

By ⋅ June 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Most organisations seem to have adopted intranets for communication and collaboration, but how should an organisation’s intranet support its knowledge management activities? From communities of practice to blogging and ultimately internal social networking, it’s something I’ve grappled with over the past eight years – trying, failing and hopefully learning at each stage of development. It’s a [...]

Global Intranet Trends For 2010 – Towards The Workplace Web – Jane McConnell, NetStrategy/JMC My early morning Ryanair flight from Stansted must’ve caught a tailwind, because I arrive twenty minutes early, catch the bus into town and arrive to hear the end of Jane’s spot, the first public presentation of the results of her fourth [...]

"I haven’t been to this airport before Mr. Hare, have you?"

By ⋅ November 5, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

If there’s one thing I will take away from the J. Boye 2009 conference in Aarhus, it’s the benefit of reading a bus timetable properly. Having confused destination and starting point, I have just been driven at high speed to Billund airport to catch my flight home. Hearing the above words spoken by a taxi [...]

Intranetters: Transport for London and London Underground

By ⋅ August 27, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Two excellent presentations at yesterday’s Intranetters event: Rod McLean of London Underground spoke about the challenges he’s faced and what he’s achieved with LU’s intranet since joining in January, while Brian Dobson of Transport For London showed a slightly more mature product in TFL’s “Source”. Arriving five minutes into Rod’s introduction I noticed a lot [...]

Ark Group: social software masterclass

By ⋅ August 20, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Spending too long inside one organisation can distort your view of reality. I like to keep my feet on the ground by meeting people from other organisations and listening to them talk about their intranets and attitudes to social media. If nothing else, listening to people talk about their KM experiences at events like Gurteen [...]

Cooperation – the future of the intranet?

By ⋅ June 8, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I spent Monday morning at the first half of Coporate Social Networking 2009 at RIBA listening to a variety of speakers talking about the impact of social networking on the way we work. I hadn’t encountered Niall Cook of Hill and Knowlton before, but I agreed with much of what he had to say. He [...]

Networking increases use of internal directories tenfold

By ⋅ August 21, 2008 ⋅ One comment

The recent update of our Connect tool has increased usage by a factor of ten, though there is plenty of scope to improve further. More than three times as many people used Connect in July as used it in the previous month. And they looked at ten times as many user profiles. But the current [...]
